"I want to do this by partnering with organizations from the Boone Democrats to the Boone Republicans. I want to bring together different voices, dissenting voices, voices that may be more liberal or more conservative, in order that we can reach a point of sort of the radical middle."

Walsh compared this to Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'fake pastor voice' and argued both represent dishonest political theater.
