Walker breaks with Trump: 'Of course I don't want a boycott of Harley-Davidson'

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Monday pushed back against a possible boycott of Harley-Davidson, one day after President Trump embraced the demonstration from some motorcycle owners if the company moves production overseas.

"I want Harley-Davidson to prosper here in the State of WI -- so of course I don’t want a boycott of Harley-Davidson," Walker tweeted.

Walker, who faces a GOP primary vote Tuesday in his reelection bid, was forced to respond to pledges from some Harley owners that they will abandon the Wisconsin-based company if it goes through with plans to shift some production overseas.

The company announced earlier this year that it would produce motorcycles bound for European countries in overseas factories. It cited that European Union tariffs on motorcycles exported from the U.S. rose sharply in response to Trump's decision to impose steep tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

Trump on Saturday welcomed members of a "Bikers for Trump" group to his New Jersey golf club, and on Sunday morning called it "great" that bike owners are planning to boycott Harley-Davidson.

Egads, I hope you lose bigly in November. You have ruined Wisconsin's best qualities; clean government, clean environmental policies, excellent support for public education, strong labor providing for a strong middle class and on and on.

You are now hellbent on destroying one of the best public universities in the nation (UW), if not the world. Is that perhaps because you had to leave college due to bad electioneering to lead the Student Government at Marquette??????
