Alliance for North Carolina spokesman has a shady past
Scott Falmlen got himself into trouble back in 1994 while he was trying to get Democrat Lawton Chiles re-elected as the Governor of Florida. The Chiles’ campaign had been accused of phoning elderly citizens and scaring them into believing that Jeb Bush (the Republican nominee) was going to get rid of Medicare and Social Security.
According to The Ledger, a Florida newspaper, Falmlen “admitted making purposeful misstatements’” (Dec. 9, 1995). The vice chair of the Florida Democratic Party at the time, Jon Ausman, was quoted as saying “Scott Falmlen should resign. He should have resigned a long time ago. He’s no longer a credible spokesman for our party.”
