Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said it’s likely that Paul Ryan will not be truthful about his policies in Thursday’s debate in a video released with the Obama campaign previewing the vice presidential debate Wednesday morning. Van Hollen has been playing Paul Ryan in Vice President Joe Biden’s debate prep sessions. 

“As we saw from his convention speech, it’s an open question as to whether congressman Ryan will lay out anything that withstands the scrutiny of the fact-checkers,” Van Hollen said. “Gov. Romney’s first debate confirmed this is a ticket that’s willing to say anything to get elected.”
