Oh no, a conservative weighed in on a beloved artist's death. Now people of great tolerance will lose their minds. https://t.co/s6BsKqPk8W

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is apparently a huge Prince fan.
Wow. Growing up in the 80s, the music of Prince was a big deal. What a shock! pic.twitter.com/ZkhchHZSnE

And when he learned of the music legend’s death, he paid tribute on Twitter:
Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today. To get through this thing called life… pic.twitter.com/cwmZrN3C9N

Oh, yeah. Walker’s so intolerant. Not like these tolerant liberals:

I do not for one second believe that Scott Walker has ever heard a #Prince song in his life. https://t.co/3QztAgCubA

@ScottWalker @jrobhunter I hate you for tweeting this.

@jrobhunter Everyone should fucking love Prince and bask in his queer glory. Except from @ScottWalker who deserves nothing but joylessness

@zara915 @scottwalker. So rude. Can't you be tolerent at least once? The man said a good thing. Let the hate go.

@ScottWalker @rose10052 Yeah he was a musical genius. He'll be missed. Nice to see more tolerance from libs trolling the governor

@TheFix @ScottWalker only left wing fanatics are allowed to express sorrow? Snarky, small man you are.

@ScottWalker
Seriously people, not EVERYTHING is political. All spectrums of people cherished Princ's talents!
RIP Prince!— Illinois Knows (@Illinoisknows) April 21, 2016
@Illinoisknows @ScottWalker EXACTLY. I thought this was a classy post by someone who LIKED his music.
