Walker Says Criticism of No College Degree Is Elitist

February 18, 2015 at 7:46 am EST By Taegan Goddard 165 Comments

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) dismissed criticism that he never graduated from college on Fox News as “elitist.”

Said Walker: “That’s the kid of elitist, government-knows-best, top-down approach we’ve had for years. I’d rather have a fighter who’s proven he can take on the big government interests and win… I think people want to judge what have you done lately.”
