Presidential candidate and first American politician to be semi-successfully grown in a petri dish Scott Walker does not want to meet with Black Lives Matter activists, or talk about it, or acknowledge them, and
you can't make him so shut up.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker sidestepped 'ridiculous' questions on Friday about whether he would be willing to meet with organizers of the 'Black lives Matter' movement, saying he would limit his time in New Hampshire to commenting on 'things that matter.'
'I'm going to meet with voters. I mean, I've said, it's not just – who knows who that is?' Walker said of the amorphous civil rights group, following his breakfast speech at a 'Politics and Eggs' forum in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Well, at least one of those was a sentence. Activists
did try to meet with him and ask him questions at the Iowa State Fair, mind you, but
he bravely ran away.
According to Wisconsin constituent and BLM activist Ciara Fox of Milwaukee, Walker refused to take even one question from a black member of the audience.
While speaking in Iowa, Walker used his unwillingness to meet with concerned but opposing groups as a badge of courage.
“You want someone who’s tested? I’m right here. You can see it. This is what happened in Wisconsin. We will not back down!” he told the crowd.
He refuses to be intimidated because if he finds himself in an intimidating situation, he will run for the hills like a bee-stung dog. You know—courage. "Tested." Work with me people, Scott Walker doesn't have a whole lot of other talking points to use here.
