Wisconsin GOP sees 'deplorable' moment in quote from Dem candidate

Wisconsin Republicans think they have a “deplorables” moment on their hands, courtesy of the state’s Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor.

Speaking at a forum on Wednesday night with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tony Evers, Mandela Barnes claimed his party’s strategy this November is to specifically target Barack Obama voters who didn’t show up at the polls in 2016. But that wasn’t all he said about their strategy. “It’s not about the Obama-Trump voters. If they voted for Obama and they voted for Trump and they’re still with him, you can keep them,” Barnes asserted.
