RGA knocks Barrett in ad tying him to Capitol protests
The Republican Governors Association started a new TV ad today that charges Tom Barrett would take Wisconsin “backward to the same divisive problems” and links him to last year's protests around the state Capitol.
The spot opens with a clip of Barrett’s TV commercial in which he says, “Isn’t it time to end the civil war in Wisconsin?”
The narrator adds while that’s what Barrett’s commercials say, “his policies suggest the opposite.”
The narrator then says Wisconsin would “take Wisconsin backward to the same divisive problems,” as video of last year’s protests around the Capitol appear.
The spot then goes on to say Barrett raised taxes every year but one, overspent, lost jobs and under his leadership, “Milwaukee’s economy went backard.”
“Wisconsin needs to move forward. Don’t let Tom Barett take us back,” the spot concludes as it focuses on a picture of Barrett among the protesters.
