WASHINGTON (AP) – Gov. Scott Walker still hasn’t spoken with President Barack Obama about the president’s love for America, but the possible contender for the Republican nomination now has an opinion on the subject.
Wisconsin’s governor tells “Fox News Sunday” that Obama or “anybody else who is willing to put their name on the ballot certainly has to have the love for country to do that.”
Walker drew criticism last month after former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani questioned Obama’s patriotism during a speech at a Walker fundraiser. When asked about the former mayor’s comments, Walker sidestepped the question by saying he hadn’t asked Obama about his love of country.
With the nominating conventions more than a year away, Walker emerged this week in the top tier of possible candidates.
