It’s appalling how easily this Governor lies. His abuse of facts and the truth is unprecedented in Wisconsin politics. Not since “Tail Gunner” Joe McCarthy has a Wisconsin politician left such a trail of slime and filth in the name of the people of Wisconsin.

The professor believes the governor has misused his quote, saying the “failure of leadership” he referred to has nothing to do with Barrett.
“The governor misrepresented what I said,” he said in an interview with The Huffington Post.
