The individuals had been CNN anchor Abby Phillip and former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R).

Walker, as PinkState readers know, was twice elected governor of the Badger State and survived a recall election, so he is very accustomed to how the political machine operates there. He was one of the loudest voices within the nation sounding the alarm bells about what a Schimel loss may imply for President Trump’s agenda and future Congressional races.

Phillip asserted that Musk got here to Wisconsin and talked about “cutting’ Social Security and Medicaid. When Walker corrected her, she then tried to say DOGE team members “talked about it.” Walker corrected her on that, too, after which identified that lies like those she advised probably may have persuaded voters to vote for Crawford:

PHILLIP: Not solely did he spend the money, he got here to the state, he got here to the state, he talked about slicing. Medicaid, Social Security by way of DOGE, bringing these points up for —

WALKER: Actually, he by no means talked — he explicitly mentioned that he wouldn’t cut Social Security. That’s precisely what he mentioned.

PHILLIP: Well, he talked at his rallies.

WALKER: No, different people mentioned about that, however I used to be there. I watched him. He didn’t say he was going to cut Medicaid.

PHILLIP: All proper, effectively different people at his rallies who labored for DOGE, who labored for Elon Musk’s group talked about these points.

WALKER: No, I used to be on the rally. Not one of them mentioned that. That’s what protesters mentioned, however no person there truly mentioned that.

PHILLIP: Do you assume that there are dangers right here —

WALKER: There are if people who imagine the lies that people had been saying about that. That’s under no circumstances what they mentioned. If people imagine that Medicaid and Medicare goes to be touched, that is simply a flat proper outright lie. What he talked about are people who over 120 years outdated.

As far as I’m concerned, that’s a pretty solid blueprint for countering the corporate media’s blatant falsehoods and parroting of Democrat talking points. The only thing he should have added to it was to demand receipts – video clips, tweets, what have you, of Musk or DOGE members gleefully boasting about taking away these benefits from anyone who legitimately earned or qualified for them.

She can’t because no such clips or tweets exist:

At the Green Bay event, Musk spoke with DOGE volunteer Antonio Gracias about the widespread fraud they found in the Social Security system. Both Musk and Gracias reiterated that there would be no cuts to legitimate Social Security payments.

“I simply acknowledged as crisply and clearly as potential that DOGE will completely be certain that people get their Social Security, make sure they get that Social Security, make sure they get their Medicaid and won’t be slicing any authentic funds in any way. Crystal clear,” Musk said.

Gracias added, “Nothing has occurred on the ground that may impression the extent of funds going to people that legitimately are owed these funds. Period. Loads goes to occur to people which can be stealing from the system. They’re not getting the funds.”

Musk, DOGE, and Walker: 1, Abby Phillip: 0.
