Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Wednesday dodged a question about whether he believes in evolution.

Has Hillary answered any questions lately? How about in the last 8 years?

Why would any sane person answer a "question" about a sick, leftwing cult fraud?

They should ask Hillary where she was when Benghazi was under attack. Simple question, simple answer.

Behold the Group That Is Dogging Scott Walker's Every Move

One floor above a vacant restaurant between the state capitol and the University of Wisconsin in Madison, a half dozen people work long days to do everything they can to make sure Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is never elected president.

Their modest office is decorated with anti-Walker bumper stickers and memorabilia from when he moved to limit collective bargaining for most state workers, triggering the state's most intense chapter of recent political history.

That 2011 fight made Walker both a national hero to conservatives and a prime target for Democrats. It also galvanized One Wisconsin Now, a progressive advocacy organization that focuses on watch-dogging Walker.

"I suspect there is nobody who has more information on Scott Walker than we do," said Mike Browne, the group's deputy executive director, sitting a few feet from a bullhorn used in 2011 during a period when up to 100,000 protested at the state capitol. The group's leaders and research are routinely quoted by Wisconsin media.

With the exception of Hillary Clinton—whose decades-long career has spawned an industry of Republican opposition research—none of the other prospective 2016 candidates face a home-state-attack group as battle-tested as Walker's.

That presents an added hurdle as he seeks to take advantage of momentum in early polling in Iowa and New Hampshire, the two states that start the nomination voting.

Laurel Patrick, a Walker spokeswoman, didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment on One Wisconsin Now. Walker is in England this week as part of a four-day trade mission.

DAILY BEAST retracts story on Scott Walker...
........................................................................................

Another major media outlet has apologized after getting a story about Scott Walker wrong. Last week, it was the New York Times; now, it’s The Daily Beast.

The Daily Beast has retracted an article from one of its college columnists that claimed that the Wisconsin governor’s budget would cut sexual assault reporting from the state’s universities.







The post, published Friday, cited a report from Jezebel that wrongly interpreted a section of the state budget to mean that all assault reporting requirements were to get cut altogether.

In fact, the University of Wisconsin system requested the deletion of the requirements to get rid of redundancy, as it already provides similar information to the federal government, UW System spokesman Alex Hummel told The Associated Press on Friday.

The Daily Beast’s correction and retraction is posted in full below. The “USA Today” story it references, however, is actually an AP article posted on the site:



Walker pressed for specifics at Club meeting JAMES HOHMANN


“A Daily Beast college columnist at the University of Wisconsin based this article off a Jezebel posting which was incorrectly reported. Jezebel updated their post on Saturday with the following after USA Today [sic] published a story debunking Jezebel’s account and clarifying Gov. Scott Walker’s position. ‘UPDATE: After Jezebel ran this item yesterday, a spokesman for the University of Wisconsin came forward—over two weeks after the budget was released—to clarify: the University requested that Gov. Walker delete the requirements because efforts were redundant with their compliance of the Cleary Act. Scott Walker’s camp assures that he’s committed to protecting victims.’

The Daily Beast is committed to covering the news fairly and accurately, and we should have checked this story more thoroughly. We deeply regret the error and apologize to Gov. Walker and our readers. This story should be considered retracted.”

The Daily Beast did not include the last two sentences of Jezebel’s ‘update’, which were added later:

“We reported this piece without full context, and while this piece conveys factual information, omission of that context for that information presents an unfair and misleading picture. We regret the error and apologize.”

Jezebel reporter Natasha Vargas-Cooper tweeted her own thoughts on the ‘update’:
