When Republican presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was recently asked if he would meet with Black Lives Matter activists, he answered by insisting, "Who knows who that is?"

CNN adds that Walker later deemed the entire line of questioning as ridiculous, adding, "I meet with voters. Who knows who that is? It's the same way as saying we meet with the tea party. Who is the tea party? There's hundreds of thousands of people."

The Black Lives Matter protest movement has sprung up across America in response to a seemingly growing spate of recent police shootings, where many of the victims have been unarmed men of color.

Later in the day, a black male directly asked Walker what he would do about the problem and to protect citizens if he were to be elected President in 2016. "I'm actually more afraid of the police than I am of ISIS," the man added, according to CNN.

Beyond insisting that most officers are good, Walker highlighted legislation he has signed as Wisconsin's governor he claims calls for independent reviews of police shootings. "It's a horrible situation for them [the police] because they don't want to be in that situation, and independent review validates them if they did things appropriately," he said.

During this still early campaign season, Black Lives Matter protesters have already disrupted political events held by Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton also recently met with several group leaders following an event in the critical state of New Hampshire.

Meanwhile, Republican early poll leader Donald Trump recently hinted he is looking forward to a potential showdown with group leaders and even envisions where things could get physical.

"I don't know if I'll do the fighting myself, or if other people will, but that was a disgrace," Trump said of protesters taking the stage at a Sanders' event. "I felt badly for him, but it showed that he's weak. You know what? He's getting the biggest crowds, and I'm getting the biggest crowds. We're the two getting the crowds. But believe me, that's not gonna happen to Trump."
