despite clear evidence to the contrary. He goes through a litany of outright lies about right-to-work states and how they are better for jobs, safety and wages than other states.

His final lie is also a pretty big one: "I never said I was opposed to right to work, I said we can succeed under the labor laws we have." Even if he didn't say that he wanted right-to-work laws in the state, he said that the laws didn't need to change and the state didn't have right-to-work at the time. But it's clear that he did say that he opposed right-to-work in 2006:

"We cannot afford to have civil wars over issues that might divide us and divert us from that path. I have said over and over, I'll say it again tonight: I'm a supporter of the labor laws we have in the state of Indiana," he said in a speech to the Teamsters 135 Union Stewards Dinner on Sept. 23, 2006. "I'm not interested in changing any of it. Not the prevailing wage laws, and certainly not the right to work law. We can succeed in Indiana with the laws we have, respecting the rights of labor, and fair and free competition for everybody."
