As Twitchy reported, professional union goon Richard Trumka made himself beam with this totes brutal assessment of Scott Walker:
My full statement on Scott Walker's upcoming announcement that he's running for president: "Scott Walker is a national disgrace."

While the rest of us were busy mocking him, Rolling Stone was fawning like a lovesick schoolgirl:
A top union leader just issued the best press release ever. In six words, he destroyed Scott Walker: http://t.co/BoZNnr0bHD

Really, guys? Really? Where do we even start with this?
How about here:
Dear Rolling Stone: you're not the best messenger these days – on anything. https://t.co/10OydRxRqx

That’s putting it mildly. Bogus UVA rape story, anyone?
.@RollingStone Mondays are slow fake rape reporting days, huh?

Hey @RollingStone: Can you explain to me how @ScottWalker's credibility is destroyed next to that of, say, Janet Cooke or Sabrina Erdely?
— BattleSwarm (@BattleSwarmBlog) July 13, 2015
This is as false as their Jackie rape story. https://t.co/PpbFAjfVbX

Tell me more about the opinions proffered by Rolling Stone, be it UVA rape hoaxes or Scott Walker. I find the publication so worthwhile.

Need more than bombastic opinion to “destroy” someone, just like you need more than an accusation to prove rape https://t.co/NmCdC7Xqci
— Ashe Schow (@AsheSchow) July 13, 2015
So @RollingStone doesn’t know what “destroys” means, just like it doesn’t know what “facts” means.

True story.
It took you guys 9,000 words to destroy your credibility. https://t.co/KuwrjZHgt2

Heh. Today’s Trumka squee session definitely isn’t doing them any favors. It seems to us that if anyone is getting “destroyed” here, it’s the hacks at Rolling Stone.
Yet, Walker lives. MT @RollingStone A top union leader just issued the best press release ever. In six words, he destroyed Scott Walker:

@RollingStone are you now pretending to actually have intelligent political commentary? Stick to the fluff for the uninformed. #scottwalker

"Destroyed". And yet still governor. Keep trying prog-zealots. https://t.co/3P6ZkgXNUg

Walker beat Trumka in 2010, 2012, 2014, but yeah, that six-word press release is totes devastating, dudes. https://t.co/2P07Rfkfnj

I guess we should be surprised that Rolling Stone has a different definition of "destroyed" than the rest of us. https://t.co/IChM3e86QU
