Howard Walker, Michigan State Senator, Tells Radio Host, 'Screw You' At Women's Luncheon (VIDEO)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/20/howard-walker-screw-you-brian-sommerfield-video_n_3962410.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003



"Screw you" isn't something that one would normally expect to come out of a politician's mouth while speaking at a Republican women's luncheon. But that's exactly what state Sen. Howard Walker (R-Traverse City) had to say to someone who critiqued his vote for Medicaid expansion at an event Monday.

"One thing that the Republican base has been against is any form of Obamacare," said Brian Sommerfield, a conservative radio host who asserts he voted for Walker. "The Emmet County Republican party, the executive committee, voted their disapproval for this and sent you that. … This so goes against the base and the people that you stand for ... we feel totally violated.”

A video, above, that shows the exchange in Petoskey, Mich. was posted by an editor of the site Watchdog Wire.

"You know, screw you as far as weak Republicans, dude," Walker returned to Sommerfield.
