Wisconsin’s Scott Walker recalled the ire his position on collective-bargaining reforms for public employees elicited in 2011, including protests in front of his own home and threats on his life. Appearing on Fox & Friends to discuss his new book, Unintimidated​, he recounted the mounting tensions that carried on past his recall election.

Among the most “shocking” of his “stack of death threats,” Walker said, was a letter his wife received detailing where she worked, where their children went to school, and warning that she should persuade her husband to step down if she didn’t want Wisconsin to have its first assassinated governor. Other experiences included protesters dressed as zombies breaking into a Special Olympics event and having to glue shut the doors in elementary school classrooms where Walker went to read.
