JOHN NICHOLS

A funny thing happened on the way to the 2016 presidential race.

Scott Walker suddenly remembered how enthusiastic he is about "right-to-work" laws.

When Walker was running for re-election as governor of Wisconsin in 2014, he was frequently asked if he would sign so-called right-to-work legislation, which is designed to weaken unions and undermine the voices of workers on the job and in public life. Despite his reputation as an anti-labor zealot, Walker dodged the question again and again.

A month before the 2014 election, at a point when the polls were close and Walker was running for his political life, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Walker “won’t say if he would veto right-to-work legislation barring private-sector workers from having to join a union as part of their job.”

He needs to be taken down. I can't believe how much he's getting away with and lying all the way.
