"I've been a fan of Trump. I've known the Clintons for a long time. I've known both of them, but I've known Donald a lot longer," Walker told AJC political reporter Greg Bluestein in 2016 . "That's what makes it tough, I've just known Donald. I know the type of man he is. I know a lot of things they've said, it's kind of sad. Because that's not the way he is, and I know that's not the way Donald is."
Walker stood by his man even though it cost him - he told TMZ he had a number of engagements canceled because organizers were afraid he would attract anti-Trump protesters .
Walker was at the Rose Bowl. Will he join Trump, who's attending with Agriculture Secretary and former Gov. Sonny Perdue, find him a seat in the presidential suite? Stay tuned.
