Walker, who endorsed Trump at the convention, told The Hill that there’s no place in politics for attacks on Gold Star families like the Khans:
THE HILL – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has a simple message for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump: Look at my wrist.
Pulling up the sleeve of his navy blazer, Walker showed The Hill the black wristband he’s wearing to commemorate a young U.S. soldier, Christopher Horton, who died in Afghanistan.
Walker, who dropped his own presidential bid last September and endorsed Trump in July, said he rotates these bands regularly to remind himself of the young American men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Walker said there’s no place for attacks such as the one Trump launched on the parents of a Muslim-American soldier killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq
“To me, I just think about it, from my point of view, just from a personal, not even a political level. I hold Gold Star families in such reverence,” Walker told The Hill in an interview on Sunday evening at a luxury hotel bar here at summer donor retreat convened by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.
“They’ve earned our respect. I would never, I don’t care what they say, you’ll never hear me question anything about a Gold Star family.”
You would think Walker would have learned his lesson after Trump’s racist remarks on Judge Curiel. But he fully endorsed Trump anyway, and once again he finds himself at odds with something Trump is saying.
Ted Cruz looking pretty good about now eh?
