Gov. "Imperial" Walker gets punk'd with Fake Koch Brothers Call
This is priceless. Ian Murphy of Buffalo Beast (the site appears to be down at the moment, but twolf1 has posted both videos on MyFDL) called up Gov. Scott Walker, posing as wealthy industrialist and campaign donor David Koch. They had a 20-minute chat. Heres an excerpt:
Koch: Well back you any way we can. What we were thinking about the crowd was, uh, was planting some troublemakers.
Walker: You know, well, the only problem with that because we thought about that. The problemthe, my only gut reaction to that is right now the lawmakers Ive talked to have just completely had it with them, the public is not really fond of this [
]
Walker: [...] I went on Morning Joe this morning. I like it because I just like being combative with those guys, but, uh. You know theyre off the deep end.
Koch: JoeJoes a good guy. Hes one of us.
Walker: Yeah, hes all right. He was fair to me
[bashes NY Senator Chuck Schumer, who was also on the program.]
Koch: Beautiful; beautiful. You gotta love that Mika Brzezinski; shes a real piece of ass.
Walker: Oh yeah.
Throughout the call, Walker boasts about his media appearances and strategizes with Koch. Some may say that theres nothing damning in the call. The idea of the Governor of Wisconsin admitting that he thought about planting bad actors inside the protest crowds doesnt look too good.
