With its rich history of attracting hecklers, the Iowa State Fair's famed Soapbox was the back drop to just that for the 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate hopeful, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and a crowd of hecklers. A busload of hecklers even drove from his home state with lots to say to Walker.
A bus of nearly 50 Wisconsin residents made the trip to protest the Wisconsin governor's policies. The rowdy group advocateed for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and better health benefits. They yelled out barbs like, "Black lives matter," and, "200,000 jobs you promised in Wisconsin, where are they?," according to CNN.
Walkers declining standing in the Iowa polls did not deter him at all as he vowed to not backdown. He chose to use the negativity to showcase his no-nonsense style and warrior attitude, according to The New York Times. Walker even managed to get a jab in at Hillary Rodham Clinton, since she is coming to the Iowa State Fair this Saturday. Clinton is skipping the historical Soapbox.
