I wish this country could get away from demonizing our "enemies" with obvious lies and get back to talking about actual issues.

So no comments on what she was actually saying? You just have an issue with saying shes “driving the agenda”?

That's correct, I had no comment on what she's saying.  I just had an issue with saying she's driving the agenda.  She's not.  And for Scott Walker to say she is tells me that Scott Walker is not an honest person.  He knows better.  

But if you seriously want me to comment on what she's saying, my comment is that she is a wacko.  Very few people want to actually defund the police.  I certainly don't.  I think we need more police.  And we need to support the ones we have a lot better than we do.

But to say she's "driving the agenda" is ridiculously dishonest.   It's a typical political ploy to pick out the wackiest, most extreme person in the other party and say, "See?  They're all like that."  That's what Rush Limbaugh did for decades.   And it's completely dishonest and manipulative.
