GOP Plays The Race Card!

Republicans run a racist ad on Mandela Barnes. 

Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes of Wisconsin is in a tight race for U.S. Senate. He is the Democratic nominee for the Senate and his opponent is Sen. Karen Johnson (R-WI), a far right, pro insurrection white nationalists.

The guy who supported Washed Up 45 attempts to overturn the presidential election. He voted to not remove the former president from office twice. 

Johnson who is considered vulnerable pulled off his victory in 2016. He could still do so given the toxic environment and how Americans are feeling right now with the economy, threats to democracy and the endless culture wars.

Barnes, the first African American lieutenant governor for the state of Wisconsin is expected to face racially attacks from the GOP. Their latest example regards the terrorist who mowed down innocent people in Waukesha. 

Barnes and Ilhan Omar are used for a scare tactic.

The terrorist was considered mentally ill but to the Republicans, he is their Willie Horton.

A new TV ad launched by Republican National Committee falsely attacking Barnes for supporting cashless bail.

National Republican Senatorial Committee began airing a $1.2 million advertisement online and television attack ad against Barnes, the Democratic with powerful footage that was likely painful for many people in the state: a car plowing into a crowd gathered for a Christmas parade in Waukesha last winter. Six people died and 62 were injured. 

They superimpose his face with three women of color. In the end, he is placed hear controversial Democrats Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). It was not only racist but Islamophobic due to the fact the GOP used the Omar and Tlaib, who are the first Muslim women elected to the House in 2018.

This is the Republicans new strategy. They are not winning on "defund the police." 

So now they're now trying to tag Black candidates to "Black on whatever" crime. It is expected the Republicans race baiting to continue. They'll go after Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) and Cheri Beasley, Democratic nominees for the Florida and North Carolina's senate races.
