Scott Walker Tries Pat’s and Geno’s, Gets Heckled

South Philadelphians weren’t fans of Scott Walker when he stopped by two famed corner cheesesteak outlets.
The Wisconsin governor and Republican presidential hopeful ate cheesesteaks — which he apparently enjoys witout — at both Pat’s King of Steaks and Geno’s Steaks this afternoon.

He got heckled on Twitter for ordering that American cheese.

@ScottWalker You get wizz or provolone, you don't know how to order a cheese steak and you fail at pandering.

Matt Gelb, an Inquirer reporter, followed Walker’s movement from steak to steak, and reports that people weren’t happy that Walker skipped a line at Geno’s.
People in line at Geno’s were, um, not amused when Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker cut the lunchtime tourist line.

He also apparently couldn’t finish his second steak, but he did talk ball with some people from the area.
But why was Governor Walker here in the first place?
Why did Scott Walker come to Philly? “We think Pennsylvania is a state we can win,” he said.

We’ll just have to wait and see how that turns out in the primary next May.
