Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker dismissed Donald Trump’s attacks on his record Sunday as “the talking points of the Democrats.”
“We took a $3.6 billion budget deficit. We fixed it,” Walker said on ABC’s “This Week” of his accomplishments in Wisconsin. “Our roads actually are better. Our schools are better.”
Trump had blasted Walker’s tenure as governor just moments earlier.
“His state has not performed well,” Trump said of Walker, a fellow Republican candidate for president. Walker has trailed Trump in the polls in recent weeks.
Unlike Trump, Walker denied he would oppose the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.
“Any discussion that goes beyond securing the border and enforcing the laws are things that should be a red flag,” he said.
Trump has drawn fire for his pledge to rescind birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.
Most of the other Republicans candidates for president have panned Trump’s immigration proposal.
Walker initially suggested he was open to considering Trump’s position on birthright citizenship before seemingly coming out against it Sunday.
