Verdictconfirmed95%
1 check · 4/16/2026

The source directly confirms that Jerry Taylor founded the Niskanen Center in 2015. It also confirms he was a former vice president at Cato Institute (referenced as 'Taylor' in the context of the 2012 leadership dispute where he 'publicly aligned themselves with Crane'). The source confirms the core staff came from Cato during the 2012 leadership dispute. However, the source does not mention the September 2021 resignation or domestic violence charges, so that portion of the additional context cannot be verified from this source.
