Democrats response to crime comeback to haunt them in Wisconsin

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.

"The murder rate in Green Bay is up 60%," Kleefisch said. "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. She's hardly alone.

She and fellow Republican Tim Michels are promising to fire Chisholm, the Milwaukee County district attorney who had advocated for bail reform, presided over a massive crime spike in Milwaukee and painfully admitted his office should not have allowed Waukesha parade massacre suspect Darrell Brooks out on a $1,000 bail before his deadly spree.

Michels is promising to fire other prosecutors across the state who don't get tougher on crime. "I will review all the D.A.s, and the ones who have an awful pattern of catch-and-release, dropping charges quickly, and letting guys out on the street, I will remove them from office," Michels told a radio show recently.

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.

The story does not indicate whether the prosecutors who are the problem were supported by Soros, but their record indicates they might be.  Letting criminals run free clearly has not led to less crime.  The law-abiding citizens deserve better.
