In 2006, Walsh jokingly told the media that authorities should insert exploding chips in the butts of sex offenders. He is quoted as saying: “Implant it in their anus and if they go outside the radius, explode it, that would send a big message.” He later said GPS chips should be implanted in these types of criminals.

Walsh was also maligned for saying people shouldn’t hire male babysitters. He commented, “It’s all about minimizing risks. What dog is more likely to bite and hurt you? A Doberman, not a poodle. Who’s more likely to molest a child? A male.”
