MILWAUKEE - In Friday's debate with Mary Burke, Scott Walker claimed to say what he means and mean what he says, doubling down on his promises from the first term, and promising more of the same for his second term. What are the facts? THE FACTS ON SCOTT WALKER’S RECORD WITH THE TRUTH:
RESPONSE OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF WISCONSIN CHAIR MIKE TATE: “Scott Walker has a problem with the truth, and all of his comments tonight should be viewed with that fact in mind. Walker is the most factually challenged politician in America, when he opens his mouth to speak on anything from job creation to taxes it's more than likely untrue.” BACKGROUND: [1] “PolitiFact Texas, PolitiFact Florida, PolitiFact New Jersey and PolitiFact Wisconsin have fact-checked their respective governors enough times so that Rick Perry (No. 5), Rick Scott (No. 6), Chris Christie (No. 7) and Scott Walker (No. 9) all appear on the list.” (Top 10 most fact-checked people on the Truth-O-Meter, Politifact, 1/29/14) |
