Related: About this forum"Scott Walker is like a rape victim"- Green Bay radio host talking with Jeff Fitzgerald
I just happen to catch that this morning on am hate radio out of Green Bay. The host and Jeff Fitzgerald were sharing their disgust with those who protest Walker, when the host stated that saying Walker brought on these protests himself, is like blaming a rape victim.
