WisDems Campaign to defend the partisan & unprecedented comments of Protasiewicz

MADISON, Wis. — If you are covering the Democrats campaign to defend the partisan and unprecedented comments from the liberal activist Janet Protasiewicz, please consider the following statement from the Republican Party of Wisconsin:

“The Wisconsin Democrats are spending millions of dollars to divert attention away from the hyper-partisan and wildly inappropriate prejudgments of Janet Protasiewicz.” —WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming

Background:

• The Wisconsin Democrats are attempting to distract Wisconsin from the inappropriate behavior of Protasiewicz, who even legal professors have argued may need to “disqualify herself from any case concerning legislative redistricting.”
• Throughout the spring election, liberal Justice Janet Protasiewicz chose to make her entire campaign for a nonpartisan seat overtly partisan.
  • Protasiewicz repeatedly labeled the maps as “rigged,” made a“campaign promise to restore abortion,”and declared the 2011 union reforms to be “unconstitutional.”
