TPM: Scott Walker talking to Beloit billionaire and major contributor Diane Hendricks

A newly released video in Wisconsin could potentially have profound effects on the state’s recall election: Republican Gov. Scott Walker shown telling a wealthy supporter in January 2011 — before he introduced his legislation to roll back collective bargaining for public employees — that it was part of a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy to take down organized labor, and potentially turn Wisconsin into a right-to-work state.

Not that this is truly unexpected, given how virulently anti-labor Walker is, but if this gets out before the recall election has run its course, he could be in for a world of hurt.
