David Perdue is downplaying his outsourcing career

"Just a couple days ago, David Perdue didn't feel like he needed to defend his career in outsourcing—heck, he was "proud of it," though he was also trying to redefine what outsourcing means.

Perdue's outsourcing

"...if any Georgia voters were duped into thinking Perdue's business experience might help create jobs in Georgia, they should check out what he had to say about his career in outsourcing in a 2005 legal deposition:
Perdue was asked about his “experience with outsourcing,” and his response was blunt. Yeah, I spent most of my career doing that,” Perdue said, according to the 186-page transcript of his sworn testimony. [...]"
