A spokesperson for Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker said Monday that, despite earlier comments, the Wisconsin governor doesn’t really want to build a wall between Canada and the United States.
On Sunday, NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd asked Walker if he would consider building a wall along the country’s northern border. Walker told Todd that the issue had been raised by some along the campaign trail.
“They raised some very legitimate concerns, including some law enforcement folks that brought that up to me at one of our town hall meetings about a week and a half ago. So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at,” Walker told Todd.
A spokesperson for Walker said Monday, though, that Walker is not advocating for a wall “despite the attempts of some to put words in his mouth,” according to Scott Bauer, an Associated Press reporter.

An “Iron Curtain” maybe?
Just like the fella who follows the elephants at the circus who shovels the messy, smelly manure into a can, Scottie’s got a guy who does that for him.
Sorry Scott Bauer, but your Monday morning quarterbacking spin cannot hide Scott Walker’s stoopid.
Scott-squared … oh my
Or is it Scott-stoopid-cubed?
It could be kind of a halfwall with a planter for flowers built in. We want to define the space but not feel too closed in or isolating. Could be nice.
I do believe Scott Bauer is an AP reporter and he’s quoting some anonymous “spox” person spinning for Walker. Bauer isn’t the spox and he isn’t spinning. He’s eporting what spox IS spinning.
Bauer 's been covering Walker regularly last 4 years and doing an ok job of it - somewhat better than Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which until recently gave Walker a pass on damn near every crazy, harmful (to Wisconsin) thing he’s managed to do.
