Gov. Scott Walker compares ISIS to protesters; flipflops on right-to-work

By Kay Nolan, February 26, 2015

— Gov. Scott Walker suggested to attendees at the CPAC conference in Washington, D.C., that his experience dealing with thousands of protesters in the state Capitol has prepared him to lead the fight against terrorist groups like ISIS.

“If I can take on 100,000 protesters I can do the same across the world,” Walker said.

Asked what his plan would be to deal with the threat from ISIS, Walker said he receives threat assessments from the FBI and was concerned not only about attacks abroad, but in the U.S. as well.

He said he wants a commander-in-chief who deals with the threat of terrorism before it shows up on American soil instead of relying on allies to do it for us.
