Democrat Mandela Barnes Whines About ‘Unprecedented’ Opposition to His Radical Policies

Wendell Husebø 6 Oct 2022

Wisconsin Senate Democrat candidate Mandela Barnes on Thursday whined about “unprecedented” opposition to his radical policies, such as defunding police, pushing Critical Race Theory, and using global warming as a cudgel to reorient the economy.

In an interview with the New York Times, Barnes said Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), have been effective in defining his policies as too radical for Wisconsin.

“There were weeks where we would get outspent two-to-one on TV,” Barnes said about Johnson and the NRSC’s attack ads. “There has been an unprecedented amount of negative spin against me.”

The latest poll shows Johnson crushing Barnes by five points in the Wisconsin Senate race. Johnson’s lead is a ten to seven point swing in the race since August. The TV ads have been pounding the airwaves for two months, an early investment by Scott and the NRSC.

When questioned about his radical record, Barnes refused to acknowledge he has pushed to defund police and let criminals out of jail early on parole.

“Things haven’t changed, right? But it’s what we talk about,” he claimed. “My positions are the same and where I stand on those issues is the exact same.”

I don't know what to think about WI... Good salt of the earth folks. Milwaukee is the problem, and approaches the tipping point. But Milwaukee ain't Chicago - I don't think they can run the state if the folks get their dander up.

Yet.

Allies of Democrat Mandela Barnes Blame Media Consultant, ‘Racist’ Ads for Failing Campaign

Wendell Husebø 6 Oct 2022

Democrat Mandela Barnes’s Wisconsin Senate campaign appears to be self-destructing five weeks before election day, as the candidates allies have begun to blame the campaign’s media consultant and “racist” GOP attack ads for Barnes’s lousy performance.

Barnes has come under heavy fire in the last two months for his radical record of allowing criminals out of jail early on parole, pushing to defund police, and using race as a means to push climate change policies to reorient the Wisconsin economy.

Johnson’s campaign and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, under Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) direction, have been blasting Barnes with TV ads for two months to define and crystallize Barnes’s radical policies. Apparently, the ads have been working.

Barnes’s allies have begun to whine about the failing state of his candidacy. They have accused Barnes’ media consultant of failing and called for his resignation. Others have blamed the successful Republican attack ads for being racist.

“To make Mandela and Black folks endure the relentless racist attacks, then not hit back on treason, corruption and lies, is unfortunate,” State Rep. Francesca Hong (D) told the New York Times on Thursday.

Another ally of Barnes, Tom Nelson, an Outagamie County executive who dropped out of the Democrat primary to endorse Bares, said he believes the campaign is in such trouble it needs to replace its media advisor.

“The campaign needs to fire its media consultant,” he said. “They’re losing.”

The blame game comes as Barnes and Johnson are set to debate Friday night from 7-8 PM central daylight time. Both campaigns have agreed to two debates. The next debate is scheduled for next Thursday.

Predictable

I told my wife that you’ll know when his campaign is in trouble when the race card gets played.
