Walker Ties Obama To Nonexistent War On Cops

While appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Scott Walker tried to blame President Barack Obama for not doing enough regarding the rhetoric used by a handful of protesters. From CNN:

In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," the Republican presidential candidate said Obama hasn't offered enough support for police who are "overwhelmingly doing the right thing every day."

"He's praised them, but he's not speaking out about the fact that this rhetoric out there," Walker said.

"And when you've got people say, we have people say 'pigs in a blanket' at a rally, 'fry 'em up like bacon,'" he said. "That's the kind of thing you need to speak out about. You need to say that is wrong."

Walker was referring to a chant by protestors connected with the Black Lives Matter movement in Minnesota in late August. The protestors, marching by the Minnesota State Fair, said they were trying to draw attention to police brutality against African-Americans.
