He voted to recall Walker 5 times.

How would you know how he voted? Nobody knows that except him. He's a nut, and nuts never vote Republican? If a news article doesn't lie and say they know for a fact that he votes Republican, he must logically be a Democrat? A Democrat who donated money to a Republican state senator? Do you perform these mental gymnastics all the time?

No, I just read the article:

“And that’s not all: When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker faced a recall vote, Monroe voted five times, per a criminal complaint filed Friday. The 50-year-old has been charged with voter fraud...”

Per the headline, this man’s DNA was found on multiple ballots.

Per the sidebar at the site:
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Source Grid »)
WISN 12 Milwaukee (Source Grid »)

I used to live in Milwaukee.Both sources, newspaper and TV station are Dem/liberal/progressive in orientation. However, they are the major news source and they did cover this,

So, if reading an article, checking the sources and then commenting without overt or implied ad hominem comprises *mental gymnastics*, I guess I do perform them often.
