A rarity occurred on TV today. Yesterday Genevieve Wood, Daily Signal Senior Contributor and GOP pundit appeared on the Ed Show. While discussing Scott Walker's employment record she did what Republicans are very good at doing on national TV.
She indiscriminately misinformed. She lied about the number of manufacturing jobs created under Scott Walker stating that he created 130,000 manufacturing jobs. An incredulous Ed Schultz disputed the numbers and she promised to provide him fact based government information.
Republican operatives generally are not concerned about giving misinformation. They know the misinformation would remain in the psyche of a few even when the truth is revealed. The Obamacare law, stimulus bill, and Iran nuclear agreement lies are probative.
On Tuesday Ed Schultz played a clip of Donald Trump decimating Scott Walker's record in Wisconsin. Donald Trump called Wisconsin a catastrophe from an economic stand point. Trump's analysis was not far off as Wisconsin is ranked 35th in private sector job creation.
Genevieve Wood did what very few Republican pundits do. She fessed up when she was caught. On Monday she was adamant that she was correct. Those watching her were likely to have believed her. On Tuesday she told Ed Schultz that he was right. As opposed to 130,000 manufacturing jobs being created, it was a puny 35,000 jobs created under Scott Walker.we are seeing more republican right wingers step up and admit the myth of the republican prosperity agenda. they destroyed it refused to help repair it and want to claim victory for any sign of recovery they also say is too slow and abysmal only way you get both is with lies. i guess more and more are not willing to kill their careers over fighting for a losing org. always waiting for that other shoe of truth to drop on them.
as to Ms. Wood can't give kudo's for coming clean when your initial intent was to mislead and misinform, whether it was an act of conscious or covering her own butt it was still deception that could result in a leader that not only isn't a leader but unqualified and beholden to those who would buy America at any cost not to make it better but to better exploit it. recognize
