Scott Walker is a piece of work.
Scott Walker is a piece of work. I accidentally caught the Erin Burnett bit where she asked him how Sec'y Clinton's statements** inflamed the situation. Essentially, he never answered.
He suggested that Clinton was criticizing the police, and said something about POTUS' lack of leadership inflaming things. Then he said something about leadership means you shouldn't say anything, although I think, and it's a bit of a stretch, but I think he meant you should avoid the appearance of taking sides. This still suggests he thinks someone took sides.
What I really think is that he is trying to play politics and tell people Clinton took sides, whether she did or not, and the not taking sides thing on his part is really a way to suggest there are no sides to take. Which is a way of saying that there isn't a problem, just problem makers and if they'd go away, everything is fine. Which it obviously isn't.
**I didn't see her speech, so don't know the full context. However, the quotes most mentioned, and the ones that seem to be what Gov Walker is complaining about are:
"urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities," and
"get back to the fundamental principle: everyone should have respect for the law and be respected by the law."

My aunt could give you an earful about all the ways. She is a teacher in WI.
ReplyDeleteOh, now I remember, she calls him "Scooter". Doesn't use his name at all.
ReplyDeleteThat's nicer than what a lot of people probably call him.
