Walker threats should be exposed, says We Are Wisconsin

Koch whore Scott Walker apparently threatened a Republican state senator with a Tea Party (read "Koch-funded") challenger if he didn't vote for his union-busting bill. Now We Are Wisconsin wants to know who else Walker threatened with a Koch-funded opponent.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported the story yesterday. To recap: Walker said he'd run a Tea Party candidate against Cowardly Rob Cowles if he wasn't with him on destroying the middle class. Cowles is the family-values champion who invested more than $100,000 in companies that peddle porn, strip clubs and X-rated swinger sites.

We Are Wisconsin has issued a press release denouncing Walker (somehow we can't find it on the Internets) and calling for Republican senators to reveal if Walker tried to intimidate them.
It’s time for every single Republican senator to answer on the record: Were they threatened by Scott Walker to support attacks on workers against their will, or are they – and they alone – taking ownership and responsibility for their support of Walker’s attacks on working families and his draconian budget that devastates public education while lavishing tax giveaways on out-of-state corporations and wealthy investors? Voters are due an explanation.
Cowles is now saying he was never intimidated. But Cowles also needs to raise money for his own recall election -- and we know who has the big dough.
