Last night, Ron Johnson and Mandela Barnes met on the debate stage for the second time for WTMJ-4’s Senate Debate. If you missed it, you can watch the whole debate HERE. Throughout the debate, Wisconsinites had the chance to hear just how radical Mandela is in his own words. The facts are that Mandela Barnes wants to defund our police, release half of Wisconsin’s prisoners, restrict our Second Amendment rights, and allow for abortion up until the moment of birth for the entire country. Meanwhile, Senator Johnson continued to tell everyone the hard truths and stood on his record of accomplishments for our state: including massive tax cuts for 95% of all businesses and giving everyone the Right to Try.

On Thursday, Tim Michels was hosting a press conference accepting an endorsement from the Milwaukee Professional Firefighters Association in downtown Milwaukee. During the press conference, an individual broke into and attempted to steal a reporter’s car: parked just steps away from the outdoor event. The people of Milwaukee are keenly aware how often this happens, but it is stunning nonetheless that it took place both within eyesight and earshot of the press conference. The skyrocketing crime of all kinds across our state is the fault of Tony Evers’ leadership failures and disrespect for our law enforcement officers.

TONIGHT is the first and only opportunity for Wisconsinites to hear from Gov. Tony Evers and Tim Michels on the debate stage together. They will be participating in the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association’s debate which will start at 7:00 PM and last for an hour. A list of all stations carrying the debate can be found HERE and a live stream can be found HERE. 

A bombshell report this week exposed Mandela Barnes for abhorrent comments he previously made—on the Russian Government’s TV station, RT or Russia Today. While there has been plenty of anti-police commentary from Mandela Barnes already, this is the first instance of his rhetoric being used directly as Anti-American propaganda to support Russia. In fact, the State Department said last year that RT’s overall goal is “to manipulate and weaken adversaries” by utilizing tactics that “discredit, divide, disarm, and demoralize them.” After five police officers were gunned down in Dallas in 2016, Mandela said that “police officers across the country haven’t reformed their patterns and practices” and that “police officers are over-exercising their badges.” Then, later that year he said that BLM riots were a “human reaction” to police, including that just because an officer is black, “doesn’t mean they are 100% behind the community.”
