Van Wanggaard...there's something about a lying former police officer, high school liaison, and now State Senator that makes every Badge look bad.

State Sen. Van Wanggaard triggered me with this statement in his press release about Kenosha's protests:

"That’s what Governor Evers did a year ago. And rewriting history won’t change that.

You gotta wonder what else he made up in his 30 years as a police officer, right? 

The thing about Republicans is they haven't really governed, haven't solving any problems, ignored the COVID Pandemic, or spending our tax dollars on...us. US for gods sake!!! So the 2022 election will be based on fabricated outrage over Gov. Evers oversight of a global pandemic nobody was ready for, and his decisive handling of the Kenosha protests. Oh wait that was a "disaster" too? 

Here's the real timeline, and not some "multiverse" fantasy. He's a liar, and a...

1. Wanggaard: 

"Evers was slow to react, too. After the second night of rioting had already started, 125
National Guard members arrived in Kenosha. It was too little, too late. Governor Evers claims that was the best he could do in 24 hours, but we know that’s not true." 

Oh look, it had nothing to do with Gov. Evers:

Monday, Aug. 24: Around 3 a.m. Monday morning, Sheriff David Beth put in a formal request for support from the Wisconsin National Guard. Beth said he would have put in the request sooner but got his “wires crossed” with other city officials on who would be submitting it. Still, Adjutant Maj. Gen. Paul Knapp said they were preparing to head to Kenosha even before the official request came in, 

Tuesday Around 2 p.m, Evers announced he was authorizing the Guard. This initial deployment mobilized 125 Guard members, the FBI, U.S. Marshals, ATF, state troopers, DNR agents, and other local law enforcement agencies.

Beth, say the state leaders have been responsive to their requests. “The state has been fantastic as far as sending resources, from the very first minute that we asked them. They have sent everything that we’ve asked for. The resources and information they have passed to us, it’s immense.”

 
On Tuesday afternoon, Evers issued a state of emergency in Wisconsin and upped the commitment of the National Guard to 250 members after denouncing the “damage and destruction” that accompanied protests the night before,

2. Wanggaard: 

"Governor Evers initial comments were so out of line and inflammatory that they did more to incite the riots than calm them. His comments were so bad, that several days later police groups asked Evers to just stop talking about Kenosha. Think about that. People had so little faith that Evers would say the right thing, they asked him to just be quiet."

But Evers supposedly "incited" protesters by reminding everyone of their 1st Amendment right. That's not popular with Republicans:

"I know folks across our state will be making their voices heard in Kenosha and in communities across Wisconsin,” Evers said in a statement. “Every person should be able to express their anger and frustration by exercising their First Amendment rights and report on these calls to action without any fear of being unsafe.”

3. Wanggaard: "

Rather than accept the President’s help while Kenosha was on fire, Evers played politics. Governor Evers told the President he’d rather have COVID relief than help with the riots. Making the riots worse, being slow to send help, and rejecting help that was offered. 

In the back pocket of liar Trump, you can't rewrite this history. Gov. Evers turned down Trump's "help" because of this...

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows also appeared on Fox News that night and said Evers had turned down an offer from the federal government for additional support, by that point the Guard was already deployed in Kenosha.

Republican lawmakers Sen. Ron Johnson and Rep. Bryan Steil also issued statements calling on Evers to accept more aid from the president. Steil said he had reached out to Trump, who offered extra National Guard members and federal law enforcement agents.

That afternoon, Trump and Evers announced that the governor had accepted the U.S. government’s support, although Beth says that some federal agents had been onsite “since day one.”

4. Wanggaard: Lying former law enforcement officials are the worst kind:

"That’s what Governor Evers did a year ago. And rewriting history won’t change that.
