MILWAUKEE — In an exclusive interview Friday, Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told WISN 12 News his 25-year-old son Matt Walker is considering a run for Wisconsin’s 5th congressional district after Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner announced he wouldn’t seek re-election in 2020.

“Well, he’s had a number of people reach out to him,” Scott Walker told Adrienne Pederson in a taping for UPFRONT. “I think in particular what intriguers him is he feels frustrated that AOC (Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez) somehow nationally is reflective of his generation. He’s 25 and he feels there needs to be a counter-voice to that.”

Scott Walker said Matt Walker, who is a partner and co-founder of Platform Digital, has asked his opinion in recent days about a potential bid.

“Well, personally, when he asked me about it the other day I gave him the advice you might not think of necessarily politically,” Scott Walker said. “I said one you need to pray about it. If it’s God’s will to get in or not get in you’ll figure that out first and foremost.”

Scott Walker also mentioned State Sen. Scott Fitzgerald and former State Sen. Leah Vukmir as potential top-tier candidates, calling Fitzgerald a “longtime ally of mine.”

Scott Walker said he also told his son that he would first need to consult with his girlfriend and business partners before making a decision.

1. Does he want to carry on his dad's legacy of destroying working people?

the video is out there, he is plotting to do it with rich woman

[dawg day]

2. Of course he is interested

what other job can a 25-year-old "scion" get that pays that well?
And what use is it being the son of a corrupt GOPer if you can't use it to be a corrupt GOPer yourself?

3. Is he a moron and tool of rightwing billionaires like his dad?

The only things Scott Walker is good at are: lies, propaganda and hurting working people to enrich his donors.
Luckily, Scott can do all those things without being very educated. No need to understand complex policy issues when you're just out to listen to the Koches and screw everyone else!

Did his son follow down his dad's path of skipping education, and instead getting trained in lying and taking wingnut welfare jobs?

5. But,

he is such a potential for organized crime, having learned his tricks from Dad.

He really should pray on that.
