WISCONSIN–(ENEWSPF)–July 5, 2016. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announced today he will be speaking at Donald Trump’s Republican convention in a few short weeks. Yes, that same Scott Walker who said mere days ago that delegates should vote their conscience when it comes to Trump will now speak at Trump’s event. Donald Trump has spent years spouting hateful rhetoric and dangerous policies that will do serious harm to working families and put America’s security at risk. Walker acknowledged as much in his announcement today, admitting that “there have been legitimate issues raised and concerns” expressed about Trump’s candidacy. Ouch.

Gov. Scott Walker and other Republican presidential hopefuls have finally had it with Donald Trump….‘We’re blessed to have some really outstanding Republicans running for president of the United States, and I’m honored to be one of them. And so you will not hear me speak ill of any of them. I made one exception today,’ Walker told the crowd. ‘The exception I made is when someone goes personal and attacks an American hero. You may agree or disagree with some of his politics, but John McCain is an American hero and I will defend him and any other veteran who’s been a prisoner of war.’ [7/8/15]
Walker had a message for Trump and the real-estate mogul’s supporters. ‘At a minimum, he needs to apologize,’ Walker said. ‘I think more people need to push him. Not just candidates or elected officials, I think more people across America including some of those who, maybe up until now, have been supporters of him.’ [7/20/15]
