Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) will reportedly steer clear of any reporters or public events during an upcoming trip to Israel in May.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on Monday that Walker shunned the press on his trip to Europe last week and planned to do the same in Israel.
A spokesperson for Walker’s Our American Revival PAC explained the governor’s decision to not take any questions from reporters in an article published by the Washington Examiner on Wednesday.
“Gov. Walker’s trip to Israel will be a listening tour,” the spokesperson told the Examiner. “He is interested in hearing first-hand Israel’s concerns about the future of our alliance and identifying ways to restore the ruptured bonds between our two countries.”
Among the topics Walker will be discussing on the “listening tour” will be “the rise of Iran,” war in Syria and Iraq, and the spread of radical Islam, according to the spokesperson. She made no mention of whether the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian question would be on the agenda.
"Where are your ears, Scottie? Show us your ears.
Good boy!"
Sorry, Scotty, but when you are running for the highest office in the land you don’t get to set the terms for discerning your qualifications. It’s arrogant.
Teatroll Rosetta Stone:
“Political” = “Anything that I’m not prepared to answer or would force me to take a position I’m not prepared to take or would reveal my Trojan horse positions.”
In other words, if he’s asked anything that requires deviation from his script, he’s going to whine “political.”
Ignore all the questions you want while in Israel or Europe, you stupid motherfucker. Over here, they are going to roast you like a chestnut if you try to pull that shit, and you cannot win the crown by just staying in the safety of the FoxNews bubble. And the rest of the United States is not the bought-and-sold state of Wisconsin, where I once lived and loved but will never return unless under threat of death or the total destruction of its Teabagger dictatorship. So fuck you, DeadEyes!
Nothing political here. Just an average citizen with no actual need to go to Israel but who happens to be running for president traveling around with press in tow.
