Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker continued his sycophantic praise of President Donald Trump on Monday by claiming that no other president has had the “guts” to walk outside the White House fence, only to get schooled into embarrassment.
Trump walked to the St. John’s Episcopal Church after threatening to use the military against Americans protesting racial injustice, and it came after he had spent the night in a bunker at the White House. Apparently, the coward wanted a propaganda video and photo-op to portray himself as a tough guy.
Of course, it didn’t work unless you’re a Republican who kisses Trump’s ring like Walker.
Hard to imagine any other @POTUS having the guts to walk out of the White House like this: @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/R9Da6W7Hhb

Again, Trump spent the previous night in a bunker at the White House hiding from mass protests. Also, police and military brutally cleared the streets of protesters so that Trump could make the walk and were heavily present the whole time.
Even Twitter users pointed out the facts.
He teargassed some priests and crossed a street.
He didn’t land at Normandy, jackass.

You’ve got a really messed up idea of what courage looks like.

Joe Biden met with protesters yesterday.
Nixon met protesters during the Vietnam War.
Trump didn’t meet with any people. He has no guts. He avoided both protesters and the Vietnam War and hides in a bunker at night.

So brave to tear gas those peaceful protesters!

Yeah, real “guts” to direct firing rubber bullets & tear gas on unarmed peaceful protesters to walk across a street for a photo-op with his fake bible.

They even pointed out that Obama walked the streets outside the White House and didn’t need the military or militarized police to do it.
Wow. And he didn’t even use tear gas and rubber bullets to clear the way.

That’s pretty much all that needs to be said.
