While in Wisconsin on Thursday, Hillary Clinton called out Scott Walker, saying the state's governor and Republican presidential candidate thinks he's "some kind of tough guy on his motorcycle."

Speaking at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee at a "Women for Hillary" event, Clinton said Walker "busts unions, starves universities, guts public education, demeans women, [and] scapegoats teachers, nurses and firefighters." That's not leadership, she said, adding, "It looks like he just gets his marching orders from the Koch Brothers and just goes down the list."
