On tonight’s The Last Word, host Lawrence O’Donnell spoke with Buffalo Beast editor Ian Murphy, the man behind the 20 minute prank call Wisconsin governor Scott Walker had with who he thought was conservative billionaire businessman David Koch. Murphy made the call because rumor had it that Democrats trying to get in touch with Walker, who is currently embroiled in his state’s ongoing union protests, were unable to get through to him.
When asked how he was able to get through to Walker, Murphy said that, when asked for his number, he made up a story that his maid, “Maria,” had accidentally “washed his phone.”
And in case you were wondering about Murphy’s personal feelings towards Walker, he told O’Donnell that he didn’t feel he would get caught in his lie because Walker is “oblivious” on all counts.
