Published | Video Starts at 04:37

And it was interesting because I heard at one point, Governor Evers, I think it was in an interview with you, said, well, we had 17 votes and The highest vote count we saw up until the day before was, I want to say we had 12 or 13. So I think the governor is out of touch. He was not communicating with his own caucus in the legislature. The leadership. I did not hear a word from leadership on a deal until Monday before. (04:37–04:45)

CLAIM

Asserts that the highest vote count for the deal was 12 or 13 before the final day.
