Here's a supercut of #WISen candidate Mandela Barnes (D) bragging about how he & #WIGov Tony Evers (D) worked to cut Wisconsin's prison population in half by releasing convicted felons back onto the streets of Wisconsin. 1/6

To meet their political goal of cutting Wisconsin prison population in half Evers & Barnes released murderers & rapist back onto the streets of Wisconsin. In 1st half of 2022 they were averaging granting early release to 2 murderers & rapist per week👇 2/

#WIGov Tony Evers (D) appointees granted early release to a stranger who grabbed a UW-Eau Claire college student off the street & raped her and to a man who hacked a gas station clerk to death with a hatchet and blamed it on a fictional black suspects. 3/6

#WIGov Tony Evers (D) appointees also released from prison a man who swung a toddler wildly by his ankle, smashing the boy’s head like an “eggshell”; a man who plowed a car into a crowd, wounding 30 people & a man involved in the plastic bag murder of a well-known diner owner. 4/

#WIGov Tony Evers (D) appointees also released a serial rapist who crawled through home windows to terrorize women in Beloit, a stalker who executed a professor in the parking lot of a Country Kitchen restaurant and many others. 5/6

The release of these prisoners was a policy choice made by #WIGov Tony Evers (D) at the urging of his Lt Governor Mandela Barnes (D) who was one of WI's leading advocates of emptying prisons & setting criminals free. They did this on purpose & if re-elected will do it again. 6/6
