Donald Trump attempted to thank former rival Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, for his supportive remarks during the Republican National Convention on Wednesday. Instead, he shared his gratitude with Scott Walker, the Murrow and Emmy Award-winning news anchor at New Orleans television station WDSU.
Despite the new tweet, the old one remains up. For such a prolific tweeter, this seems like a rookie mistake for Trump, but congratulations on all the new followers, @ScottWalker6.
