Governor Lamont just months ago said that he didn't think I was extreme and that he thought I was a bipartisan leader on issues like energy policy.

Overstated

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itFazio attributes a specific characterization to Governor Lamont — that Lamont publicly called him non-extreme and a bipartisan leader on energy policy. This is verifiable and, if inaccurate or taken out of context, would be misleading to voters.
What we foundLamont did publicly credit Fazio as someone he could work with on a bipartisan energy bill, but no source confirms Lamont personally said he did not think Fazio was 'extreme' — that framing originated with Fazio, not Lamont.
