Scott Walker's Sons Disappointed With His Comments After Supreme Court Marriage Equality Ruling

[still_one]

The sons of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) were disappointed with their father's criticism of the Supreme Court's recent ruling on marriage equality, exemplifying the generational divide within the Republican Party on gay rights.

"I believe this Supreme Court decision is a grave mistake," Walker said on June 26, when the Supreme Court struck down state bans on same-sex marriage.

That response didn't sit well with his two sons, Matt and Alex, who are taking time off from college to help their father with his upcoming presidential campaign. In an interview with The Washington Post, Walker's wife, Tonette, said she immediately heard from her sons about their displeasure with Walker's comments.

1. Hey, Matt and Alex?

That's why you have parents, to embarrass you. When they run for president, it just takes embarrassing to a nationwide level.

4. The sons I tend to believe because they were part of their cousins same sex wedding. The wife, I

agree, she is going to play the game

5. I believe them too, but the tactical "revelation" is suspicious

Who grows up in a union household and marries and supports the destroyer of unions?

7. in another article (Rawstory?)

"Tonette" (named for the musical instrument?) said she supports gay marriage and brought up her cousin. I didn't note any equivocation.

6. It's wink-wink time...

In other words, we'll be hard-core to the right-wing lunatics who vote in the primary, but refer to the wife so in the general people will say to the non-lunatics, you see, he really didn't mean it.

3. Still, it's gotta be hard when it dawns on you, your father is an asshole.
