Walker Urges People To Visit Website For Policy Details, Which Aren't There [View all]

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Monday directed Fox News viewers to his campaign website to see where he stands on certain issues, yet his website appears to lack a clear landing page where supporters can read about the presidential candidate's policy stances and proposals.

While discussing the media's focus on Donald Trump on Fox News' "America's Newsroom," Walker said that people should focus on the details of the candidates' policy ideas.

"The overall media frenzy across this country, from one network to the next, is focusing on one person when we really should be talking about what we’re for and what plans we have to make this country great again. I hope people join us at ScottWalker.com and see the details, not about what we think about another candidate, but what we think about making this country great again," Walker said.

Yet as Politico recently noted, numerous presidential candidates including Scott Walker don't have clear sections on their website that lay out where they stand on the major issues.

Walker's website includes landing pages for "Meet Scott," "News," "Shop," and "Volunteer." None of the sections include details about Walker's policy proposals. The "Meet Scott" section details certain accomplishments from his time as Milwaukee County Executive and governor of Wisconsin, but does not note what Walker would attempt to accomplish as president.
