Walker: Critics Of Indiana Law Are Just 'Looking For Ways To Be Upset'
Source: TPM
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) characterized critics of Indiana's religious liberty law as chronic malcontents stirred up by "hype and hysteria" in the media, according to audio surfaced by Buzzfeed Thursday.
I just think this is people who are chronically looking for ways to be upset about things instead of really looking at what it is," Walker said during an interview with Milwaukee-based radio host Charlie Sykes on Wednesday.
"I believe in protecting religious freedoms," he continued. "Its inherent in our states constitution. Heck, its inherent in our U.S. Constitution. And again, in Wisconsin, weve done it and were stronger for it."
Walker made the remarks when asked whether he would have approved a religious-freedom bill like the one Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) recently signed into law. We dont need to; in Wisconsin, we have it in the constitution," Walker responded again.

(8,700 posts)So the all of CEOs of Indiana's largest employers, most who have been fighting this bill from the very beginning, are " chronic malcontents " not to mention the heads of Indiana's largest universities and dozens of legal scholars? Plus CEOs of the most valued companies in world and the governors and mayors of several states? Not to mention the majority of the citizens of Indiana. All are " chronic malcontents "? Really? Wow. Talk about disconnect.
