House Democrats calls for Gov. Walker to clarify testimony in light of new video
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/05/21/house-democrats-calls-for-gov-walker-to-clarify-testimony-in-light-of-new-video/Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have asked Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) to obtain a clarification from Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R).
During a congressional testimony last year, Walker had denied that his actions in Wisconsin were used to punish members of the Democratic Party and their donor base, namely unions. But recently released video of the governor appears to contradict his testimony.
This new video raises serious questions about the veracity of Governor Walkers testimony before our Committee, in which he repeatedly described his decision to strip public sector union workers of collective bargaining rights in purely economic terms, Reps. Elijah Cummings, Gerald Connolly and Chris Murphy wrote in a letter. Instead, this video suggests that his motivation was to divide and conquer public sector unions in order to turn Wisconsin into a completely red state.
Before he introduced legislation to strip public employees of collective bargaining rights, he promised a billionaire donor that he would use a divide and conquer strategy to bust unions, a newly released video revealed.

Sounds to me like the bastard perjured himself.
They should be screaming for an investigation, not asking him to clarify his testimony.
