In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Scott Walker Blames Obama For "Disturbing Trend" [View all]Still In Wisconsin
(4,450 posts)21. Take it from a Wisconsinite- this is CLASSIC Walker:
He never lets facts get in the way of a good narrative. In this case, it's an obvious "dog whistle" to say that the black President is getting (white) cops killed. The difference now, of course, is that it's a Presidential election and a lot more people are paying attention and checking facts. We have a very compliant and right-wing media apparatus in Wisconsin and Walker has never had a real rival on the Republican side. Now he has several and he's being exposed.
The really silly thing is that he has been by all accounts the most divisive figure in the history of Wisconsin state politics, and he's calling the POTUS the "Divider in Chief."

I don't believe he is feeling desperate. Lying comes naturally to him, that's one way
