Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Thursday that his experience taking on thousands of union protesters in his state helped prepare him to take on terrorists across the world
The likely Republican presidential contender made the comments on the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference in suburban Washington, where he was greeted like a rock star and overshadowed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
The annual conference features more than a dozen potential Republican presidential contenders over three days hoping to win over conservative activists.
Asked how he would handle the Islamic State group if elected president, Walker said, "For years I've been concerned about that threat, not just abroad but here on American soil."
"If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world," he said, a reference to his battles with organized labor.
Walker is gearing up for a 2016 presidential contest in which foreign policy figures to play prominently.
Walker's comments drew sharp reaction from union leaders.
"It's disgusting that Gov. Walker would compare everyday heroes — educators — to international terrorists," said Betsy Kippers, a teacher and president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council.
