For some reason, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been rising in the polls of possible GOP presidential candidates for the 2016 election. However, one has to wonder if that momentum will swing in the other direction after a comment he made at the Conservative Political Action Conference yesterday.
When being asked about how he'd handle the terrorist group ISIS, Walker responded with this:
"If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the globe."
Yes, taking on 100,000 peaceful progressive protesters is the same thing as taking on the terrorist group ISIS...
After receiving immediate backlash for his absurd comparison, Walker responded by saying this:
"You all will misconstrue things the way you see fit, but I think it's pretty clear, that's the closest thing I have in terms of handling a difficult situation, not that there's any parallel between the two."
Either Scott Walker is an idiot or he thinks the rest of us are idiots (or perhaps a bit of both).
Let's look at his quote again. He said, "If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the globe (in other words, take on ISIS)."
What is being misconstrued again here, Mr. Walker?
What he's essentially saying is, "Since I've shown I can take on peaceful progressive protesters in this state, that shows I'd be able to take on the terrorist group ISIS."
So, yes, he is comparing the two. That's what a comparison is...
Due to this ridiculous comparison, expect Scott Walker to say the following things in the future:
- "If I can microwave some popcorn, I can bake the world's largest cake from scratch."
- "If I can do a crossword puzzle in one sitting, I can read War & Peace in one sitting."
- "If I can throw a tennis ball 2 yards, I can throw a bowling ball 120 yards."
- "If I can lift the remote five times, I can bench 450 lbs."
- "If I can open my mouth, I can sound like an idiot."
Okay, so that last one is true...
