Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) is no stranger to blunders on his presidential campaign trail.

First, it was Philly — where he made some serious cheesesteak gaffes. On Monday, the candidate got punk’d by a man who appeared to be holding a sign supporting Walker — until he flipped it around.

A reporter at The Guardian got the photo:

Those behind the trick were Tyler McFarland, 23, and Giselle Hart, 20, who wanted to talk to Walker about climate change, according to The Washington Post.

Walker attended an event this weekend, hosted by the conservative brothers Charles and David Koch, where many conservative voters were expected to give $1 billion to campaigns.

But Walker’s bad day didn’t stop there. As the governor took questions from the press outside the event, a man, described by The Washington Post, as wearing a blacktop hat and carrying a white flower, approached Walker with a sign that read, “How can we make the world better.”

Several staffers stood in front of the man, the Post reported, but he eventually jumped on a rock and screamed, “Scott Walker will do anything to get elected! Because that’s what politicians do!”
