Brad Dutcher, Former Janesville GM Plant Employee, Says Paul Ryan 'Should Be Ashamed Of Himself' For Misleading Claim
A former employee of the General Motors plant in Janesville, Wisconsin said Paul Ryan "should be ashamed of himself" for his misleading claim about the plant's shutdown.
During his speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, Ryan blamed President Obama for the plant's closing.
"Right there at that plant, candidate Obama said, 'I believe that if our government is there to support you this plant will be here for another hundred years.' Thats what he said in 2008," Ryan had said. "Well, as it turned out, that plant didn't last another year."
Brad Dutcher, the former GM employee, told MSNBC's Ed Schultz on Friday that he was at the Janesville plant during Obama's visit and that Ryan had told an "outright lie" by implying that Obama had been responsible for the plant's closure.
Dutcher said that Obama "had nothing to do with the decision to close our factory." He added that "there was never a promise made...to keep our plant open. That is completely false."

They always seem to get in the way of the GOP's lies but then again, they don't really give a shit anyway. Who needs facts when you can spend endless amounts of cash to lie your way to victory?
