Wisconsin's Governor Walker Tells All

Right now a critical battle is playing out in Wisconsin over worker rights.  In an effort to prevent a vote on anti-worker legislation, Democratic legislators left the state.  Thousands of union members and allies continue to rally against the attacks. 

A strong supporter of the legislation, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker unknowingly engaged in an extended tactical conversation with a blogger who claimed to be billionaire David Koch.  Read on and view the video below.

The following is an excerpt from an Associated Press article:

"On a prank call that quickly spread across the Internet, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was duped into discussing his strategy to cripple public employee unions, promising never to give in and joking that he would use a baseball bat in his office to go after political opponents.

Walker believed the caller was a conservative billionaire named David Koch, but it was actually a liberal blogger. The two talked for at least 20 minutes - a conversation in which the governor described several potential ways to pressure Democrats to return to the Statehouse and revealed that his supporters had considered secretly planting people in pro-union protest crowds to stir up trouble."
