Joe Walsh is totally running for president because he has integrity and not because he’s desperately seeking attention. We know this because he was interviewed today by two networks at the same time:

Welp.
CNN put Richard Spencer on. Might as well put Walsh on, too. https://t.co/RmkmrzKNb6

Oh, hey … speaking of Richard Spencer:
Joe Walsh on MSNBC: "I wouldn’t call myself a racist, but I’ve said racist things on Twitter.”

And Joe Walsh not a conservative, but he’s played one in real life.

Follow up questions:
1. Are you saying you just pretended to be a racist to whip up support from racist voters?
2. Is this common practice among Republicans?
3. Do you think this is what Trump is doing?
4. What does that say about your/Trump's view of the GOP electorate? https://t.co/YE2F672sGc

Update:
Joe Walsh is really sorry if you misinterpreted his racist tweets as racist. He was just trying to engage in a conversation and push the envelope!
I asked Joe Walsh to explain his comment that "I wouldn’t call myself a racist, but I’ve said racist things on Twitter.”

More:
GOP presidential candidate Joe Walsh says he regrets calling President Obama a Muslim. “I engaged in this hateful personal rhetoric, so caught up in our political battles, and I believe some of the demonizing that I and others did, I think it led to Trump,” Walsh says. pic.twitter.com/aKJ78qAao8

Oh, it definitely helped lead to Trump. But Joe makes it sound like he just got caught up in the moment and wasn’t out there on the front lines with his musket trying to pour gasoline on the fire.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
