Gov. Scott Walker Is the "False Statement" Champion.

Of the 44 Walker statements Politifact analyzed, almost two of every three Walker statements were rated Pants-on-Fire False, False or Mostly False. Only six were rated True.

Already last among all 50 governors in creating jobs, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is by at least one measure also among the worst when it comes to telling the truth.

/snip/

Looking at pure numbers, Walker is by far the biggest falsifier among the eight governors, with 29 untrue statements, four of which were Pants-on-Fire False.

Earlier this year during a televised visit to a conservative think tank in Washington, Walker said he was a "great believer in the truth" as he tried to defend his terrible record as governor. -- Politifact hasn't rated this Walker statement yet, but this one's easy. It gets a Pants-on-Fire False.
