As Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker--known for his anti-worker policies and staunch opposition to women's rights--ended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on Monday, many of the responses to his exit were as short as his candidacy.
"Scott Walker is still a disgrace, just no longer national," said AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka.
And Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America: "Hey Scott Walker, as one of the most anti-choice politicians in the race--not to mention a hypocrite--don't let the door hit you on the way out. Also, we're curious, do the Koch Brothers get a refund?"
In his home state, Walker was greeted by a last-minute action by Overpass Light Brigade, who showed up on a freeway bridge in Milwaukee with a light-up banner reading simply, "DROPOUT."
"[A]s Wisconsinites, we understand the damage that marks Scott Walker's reign," the group wrote on its Facebook page. "The country saw through his deceit and mediocrity. Will Wisconsin residents finally do the same?"
Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. By donating today, please help us fight the dangers of a second Trump presidency. |
