Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker blasted Hillary Clinton, saying, “we can’t trust Hillary Clinton to tell the truth on just about anything.”
Walker, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, defended himself against Clinton’s barbs that as Governor, he “shortchanged” the women in Wisconsin by repealing protections for equal pay. Responding, Walker, the Governor of Wisconsin, explained that his state “has a law that prohibits discrimination in the workplace,” adding that he’s “enforced that law.”
Hillary Clinton: Governor Walker has made it his personal mission to roll back women’s health and rights. He did defund Planned Parenthood. And even though women in Wisconsin are still paid less than men, with women of color making even less, Scott Walker repealed protections for equal pay. Maybe he just doesn’t realize that when women are shortchanged, entire families are shortchanged and Wisconsin and America are shortchanged.
Jake Tapper: A little preview for you their Governor if you do get the nomination. How are you going to respond to Secretary Clinton talking about you opposing equal pay and opposing women’s health care?
Scott Walker: Well, Hillary Clinton, like she is in so many other areas is not telling the truth. I think increasingly Americans across this country realize we can’t trust Hillary Clinton to tell the truth on just about anything. And that’s a good example. Wisconsin has a law that prohibits discrimination in the workplace. I’ve enforced that law. I’ll continue to enforce that law. I’ll push for enforcing laws like that all across the country. And when it comes to women’s healthcare, again she’s just got it wrong. We took the money out of the hands of Planned Parenthood, and we’ve seen the videos. Whether you’re pro-life like me or not, I think most Americans are disgusted with what they saw in those videos. We took that money and put it out into noncontroversial areas to provide for women’s health. But again, this is just a classic example where you just can’t trust Hillary Clinton.
