Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made another massive misstep on Monday, hiring Liz Mair of Mair Strategies to handle communications and social media for his campaign-in-waiting.
Mair’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens, wide-open-borders immigration policies, and public advocacy for the Senate “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill is sure to dog Walker in Iowa, South Carolina, and other early presidential states.
During the Senate Gang of Eight bill fight, Mair very publicly and very aggressively promoted the amnesty bill—pushing it to media and making the case for the need for it over and over again. She claims her advocacy was done out of the good of her heart, for free, because for religious reasons she believes in amnesty and open borders. But Mair wouldn’t answer who was paying her bills for her advocacy during the timeframe of the “Gang of Eight” bill in early 2013 through the end of the last Congress–when asked by Breitbart News if any specific tech companies or a select group of Wall Street billionaires were paying her.
“We’re contractually barred from disclosing our clients,” Mair said.
That could mean anyone—even foreign companies potentially—were paying her during the timeframe she was publicly advocating for the amnesty bill. While she didn’t have to disclose it to the public at the time now that she’s hitched to Walker the Wisconsin governor owns everything she said and did.

“that is the dumbest damn question that I’ve ever heard” is the closest thing to an answer to that juvenile, petulant, passive aggressive little question that you’re going to get from me.
Ted Cruz is NOT perfect.
LOL!
Was she a plant?
If Walker becomes President, would you support him hiring a Muslim Spokesperson, who had very questionable ties and or views regarding terrorism?
When you are taking flak, you are over the target. RINOs on parade.
Here’s a message from our site owner:
Is Ted Cruz a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as president? [Yes! And I support him! JimRob]

Is this another situation of ‘political birds of the feather/dollar sticking together like a blob of tallow.
This article seems a little too hysterical and, frankly, misinformed about what different people do in a political comms shop. The staffer does social media outreach. She doesn’t decide Walker’s platform. When a comms person is hired, they are hired to represent the views of the candidate not the other way around. Furthermore, the staffer in question worked with Walker previously on his re-election campaigns via social media, so there was already a working relationship.
very courageous.
Did I ping him, Einstein? Go back and look.
stop trying to be reasonable, or even rational. It’s totally out of place here. it’s primary season. losing our minds is what we do.
Since spokespersons do not decide policy, if Walker becomes President would you support him hiring a Muslim Spokesperson, who had very questionable ties and or views regarding terrorism?
You are judged by the company you keep. Wise up.
Jesus. Someone answer his question so he can spring his little trap. apparently, it’s the only way we can make teh stoopid stop.
The question was directed at you multiple times. You evaded it multiple times.
Now you want someone else to answer it for you?
Deace said the issues that Mair is bringing into the Walker campaign are her support for amnesty, her support of same-sex marriage, and her support of abortion. “If you go to her website, she’s got her own little pro-killing apologetic she posts up there,” Deace said.

I’ll leave the straw man arguments out. How about if Walker hire a pro abortion, pro amnesty, pro homosexual marriage advocate? Would that make you question his conservative bona fides?
I know I now won’t vote for him.
No. I wouldn’t support any president bringing in the Muslim Brotherhood as spokesperson. Why be so coy with your question? However, your comparisons here are completely out of whack.
Communications and social media is a very visible position. It sends a message to those who see her name, and helps color the stand of the candidate.
As long as she’s not dictating policy, that’s all that matters. And that can easily seen through her work with him.
