The first Wisconsin recall debate between Governor Scott Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett spawned a lot of reactions on Twitter, including some of the union-driven lies that Walker must be accustomed to by now.

#WIRecall, #WIDebate, ‘Tom Barrett’ and ‘Walker’ were all trending nationwide at some point during the debate as the country tuned in to one of the more heated political debates we’ve seen.

Here’s preliminary coverage and reaction to the debate:

Uh yah, we forgot we'd have to hear GovWalker repeat lie after lie after lie… ugh. #wiunion #widebate #wirecall

What Walker & the national GOP are doing in Wisconsin is a social science experiment to neutralize working voters. He must fail! #wirecall

Tom Barrett is doing a great job in this debate. Walker looks like a lying fool. What a fine criminally investigated Eagle Scout! #wirecall
