MADISON, Wis. — Brad Schimel’s ally—formerly a supporter of Dan Kelly—and January 6th riot participant Scott Presler was caught lying this afternoon. Presler falsely claimed that a canvasser was knocking doors for Susan Crawford, when really the canvasser is paid for by Elon Musk’s America PAC. Several right-wing hacks, including Dan O’Donnell, are amplifying Presler’s lie.

Presler’s lie:

In reality, this is an America PAC canvasser paid for by Elon Musk. You can tell based off the lit they’re carrying.

“It’s no surprise that Scott Presler is lying, just like how Brad Schimel lied about how many rape kits he had tested as Attorney General,” said campaign spokesman Derrick Honeyman. “This is not a Susan Crawford canvasser. They are paid for by Elon Musk’s America PAC to support Brad Schimel. Scott Presler is straight lying, and Brad Schimel should denounce Presler and Musk’s deceptive tactics.”
