PolitiFact editor Bill Adair is refusing to back down on his site’s “false” rating for Rachel Maddow’s claim that Wisconsin was on track to have a budget surplus.

After Maddow executive producer Bill Wolff sent a letter asking for a correction, Adair responded by saying no correction was warranted.

Speaking to Howard Kurtz on CNN Sunday, Adair stood by his decision.

“What she just did was mislead everybody,” he insisted.
