The Radical Left-Wing Political Machine Behind Mandela Barnes

He is running as a Democrat and serves as the Democratic Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, but he is a founding member and self-described “long-time leader” of the state’s chapter of the Working Families Party, a national left-wing organization responsible for supporting and mainstreaming the most radical ideas and politicians in America.

"Do you agree that police budgets should be maybe completely done away with or defunded?" he was asked in a PBS Wisconsin interview shortly after Floyd's death.

"Not completely done away with," Barnes answered, [but] we need to invest more in neighborhood services and programming for our residents, for our communities on the front end. Where will that money come from? Well, it can come from over-bloated police departments."
