Scott Walker Makes Surprise Hillary Clinton Endorsement, Internet ERUPTS With Joy

Scott Walker Makes Surprise Hillary Clinton Endorsement, Internet ERUPTS With Joy

It is a bit like that grammar meme, 'know your shit' versus 'know you're shit.' Well Walker doesn't know his political shit, and the other one applies too.

In a move that completely backfired on him, the Republican governor of Wisconsin and Koch Brothers shill, Scott Walker, accidentally endorsed the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and the Twitter response was absolutely delightful.

Trying to be sarcastic, the former presidential candidate from the earliest days of the Republican primary posted a picture of the convention hug between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton with a tweet that said:

‘If you like the past 8 years, vote @HillaryClinton.’

Apparently, Walker has completely failed to notice that the last eight years have given America lower unemployment, better health insurance, marriage equality, the capture and subsequent death of Osama bin Laden, and a thriving stock market.

I have worked my ass off, and have lots of problems, but I pray the next 8 years are as good as the last 8 years.
