Sam Yackel, fire fighter, father, union member and Marine Corps vet on Scott Walker's comparing citizens to ISIS:
"Governor Walker's comments are insulting, outrageous, and frankly
delusional. I was at the protests in 2011. I stood side by side with
my fellow firefighters, police officers, nurses, teachers, and
Wisconsinites of all stripes to protest Walker's attacks on working
families and I was proud to do so.
We exercised our first amendment right to petition our government and it is literally the most American thing you can do.
Let me be clear. Scott Walker doesn't know the first thing about
terrorism, fighting for your country, or being part of a democracy.
His comments were disgusting and offensive to both my service and the
pillars of the democracy I fought to protect. He owes me, every man and
woman in uniform, and every citizen of Wisconsin an immediate retraction
and an apology."
