Mary Burke's Brother Steps in to Help, Oops

Mary Burke's brother has stepped in to help his sister, who is running for Governor of Wisconsin. 

Mary Burke has been struggling to answer questions about her family company outsourcing jobs overseas.  She hasn't been able to answer questions about the wages and working conditions while she pushes for a $10.10 minimum wage here in Wisconsin. 

Her brother has stepped in and decided to set the record straight.  John Burke is quoted as saying, "Mary Burke did not make any manufacturing decisions; I did"

Fair enough.  Then I guess we can stop talking about the Trek Bicycle company. 

Wait!  But I thought that Mary took responsibility for the jobs that Trek created?  She has touted her decisions that created those jobs?  Is she a liar?  It sounds like John Burke made those decisions.
