While most of the country braces for a pocketbook election driven by runaway inflation, record gas prices and baby formula shortages, the key battleground state of Wisconsin is seething over a crime wave driven by policies that are shaping up to be an Achilles heel for Democrats running the state, like incumbent Gov. Tony Evers and Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm.
Former Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, a leading GOP candidate to challenge Evers in the fall election, gave a preview of the attack lines Wisconsin voters are certain to get plenty of on the TV come November.
In a recent interview with the "Just the News, Not Noise" TV show she gave a statistical tour of the state's more famous blue cities.
"There are more cars stolen in Milwaukee today than there are in Chicago. If you are a child in Wisconsin right now, you are likelier to die a murder victim in Milwaukee than from COVID-19. La Crosse, the other side of the state, just had their biggest meth and their biggest fentanyl busts in La Crosse history. Crime is terrible here." Kleefisch has fashioned a law-and-order campaign around the theme of "Take back control" and has offered a plan to hire 1,000 cops in the state.
Michels is promising to fire other prosecutors across the state who don't get tougher on crime.
Last weekend, 21 people were shot and 10 arrested in the aftermath of a Milwaukee Bucks playoff basketball game, an episode that left Evers expressing sympathy but no immediate plan to end such violence.
Evers was forced to ask the state parole commission a few days ago to rescind its plan to release convicted murderer Douglas Balsewicz, who was slated to be freed after serving less than 25 years of his 80-year sentence for killing his wife in 1999.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
