🧵 Under pressure to stand out, Kleefisch, Nicholson, Ramthun, & Michels have made the crowded GOP primary for governor a race to the bottom, where only the most extreme agendas win & Wisconsinites lose. Listen to what they have to say about each other: #RPW2022
.@RebeccaforReal: “Kevin Nicholson is an opportunist who has proven time and time again that he is willing to literally say or do anything, in order to become a part of the political establishment that he claims to hate so much.”
.@KevinMNicholson: Rebecca Kleefisch’s plan is “as dumb as a bag of hammers.” jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
.@RamthunForGov: “After running for governor for five plus weeks, [I’m] essentially in first place. [...] I’m beating people who have been running for governor for four years [...] the establishment pick they wanted to make ‘the one,’ I’m taking her out in multiple counties.”
.@MichelsForGov on the GOP field: “I'll tell you, come November, not a single person in Wisconsin is going to look back and say, 'Wow, I wish these candidates started even earlier.’”
@michelsforgov .@KevinMNicholson: “The whole idea of this whole clown show that exists in Madison telling the rest of us to shut up and sit down has to get called out [...]”
These candidates are dividing the Republican Party to its core, and they would do the same to our state if they were in the governor’s office. Learn more: wisgop.com #RPW2022

NEWS: Wisconsin Republicans vote to endorse no one at their statewide convention today.

The results just came in.

Read on:
Given the knives-out, unholy shambles of a GOP primary that we’ve seen so far, it is not a surprise that the Republican Party could not unite around a candidate.

Learn more about their extremism and in-fighting at wisgop.com.
The vicious personal attacks between their candidates will continue to tear the GOP further apart.

@RebeccaforReal, @michelsforgov, @KevinMNicholson, and @Ramthunforgov will continue to push one another to the extreme fringes of American politics.

🧵The GOP candidates for gov spent the last several months taking the most extreme positions on every issue. Instead of facing Wisconsinites with these takes, they’ve gone to the safety of conservative outlets. Before the #RPW2022 this weekend, here’s what we deserve to know:
Considering the chaos of the primary, the last minute entry of @michelsforgov, and @KevinMNicholson’s push for a “no endorsement,” if the WisGOP votes to endorse a candidate, will the candidates unite behind the endorsed candidate or continue to fight with one another?
When news broke that #RoeVWade could be overturned, every candidate reacted with joy. Considering how this could take us back to pre-Civil War legislation, will they also take steps to limit access to birth control, Plan B, IVF, or other forms of reproductive health care?

Ahead of the WisGOP state convention, Rep @MarkPocan, OB-GYN Doctor @KristinLyerly, and President of the Wisconsin South Central Federation Kevin Gundlach joined to call out Ron Johnson and his self-serving agenda.

Ron Johnson is bad for Wisconsin. Here's a recap:
@MarkPocan @KristinLyerly Rep @MarkPocan: “No one stands out more out of sync with the people of Wisconsin than Ron Johnson.”
OB-GYN Dr. @KristinLyerly: “Let me say this very clearly: Senator Johnson, you don’t know us and you don’t understand us.”

#WomensHistoryMonth Mildred Fish-Harnack was a spy for the Allied forces during World War II and was the only American woman to die by Hitler's direct order for her involvement in the resistance movement.
Born in Milwaukee, Fish-Harnack studied and taught English at @UWMadison, where she met her husband from Germany. Later, they moved to Germany and she continued to teach while working on her doctorate.
Fish-Harnack and her husband joined a small resistance group during the rise of the Nazi regime. Their group helped Jews escape from Germany and smuggled important information to the U.S. government about the Nazis.
