Somewhere in Iowa in the past few days, Walker was heckled by a Wisconsin group who held up protest signs during his rally. [This is one picture of it.](http://www.ooyuz.com/images/2015/7/18/1439930236519.jpg)

I’ve heard it reported that at some point Walker lost his temper and grabbed one of the posters away from a protester, and that there were then pictures taken of him holding a protest sign against himself.

I made an image search but I can’t find such a photo. I can find lots similar to the one I linked to, which show the poster right up next to or in front of him, but none in his hands.

I think if there is such a pic it would be hilarious, but Im really doutful that he would be stupid enough to do something like this with so many people and cameras around.

I doubt that picture will be at all damaging to him. If he was actively fighting with the protester or vigorously yanking it away, maybe, but this? Meh.

I dunno, it seems straightforward enough. You start by posting the picture with a jokey caption of how even Walker himself opposes Walker. Then how do his supporters respond-- by saying that he yanked the sign away from a protester? That’s not how anyone wants to depict their candidate.
