Gov. Scott Walker says he bought a sweater for $1 at Kohl's
[Politifact] Based on photos of Walker in the sweater, it appears to be a "Chaps Twisted Button Mock Sweater" in a color called "walnut twist." We couldn't find that sweater available on the Kohl's web site, so we visited the Kohl's store in Glendale to paw through the clearance racks.There we found plenty of Chaps sweaters marked between 80 and 90 percent off -- an even deeper cut than the 70% Walker cited when describing the deal. Some of the sweaters we found were originally priced at $70 and marked down to $7. Now, that's not $1. But Walker did say he used his "Kohl's Cash" -- a coupon of sorts that is generated based on how much a customer purchased in an earlier visit to the store. Thus, he could have easily gotten one for $1 out-of-pocket. We rate the claim True. With our economy in the state it is in, I have no problem with "Cheap is the new black."
