House candidate Scott Walker got himself in an awkward situation.

The Delaware Republican broadcast video of himself on Friday during an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

WBOC reports that Walker admits he did not warn anyone he was broadcasting live on Facebook.

Cellphone use is generally discouraged at the meetings.

Walker said he took care not to show any faces but his and said he was just trying bring attention to drug attention which he accuses Democratic incumbent Lisa Blunt-Rochester of ignoring.

In addition, to criticism from many Facebook users the Reverend Ellen Tempko at the People’s Church in Dover that holds A.A. meetings told the television station that he was appalled by the video.

He called it self-serving.
