A new Public Policy Polling survey of Wisconsin GOP voters in the state’s Republican US Senate primary to take on incumbent Dem Tammy Baldwin finds far right extremist former Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke with 52 percent support and his closest competitor Eric Hovde at 7 percent.
Clarke’s name recognition probably plays a role, as does him telling the audience at a 2021 QAnon fan event that the Capitol riot “was not an insurrection. If we decide to pull an insurrection, you’re gonna know it. There’s very little you’re going to be able to do about it,” and in 2020 tweeting that the COVID-19 pandemic was “an orchestrated attempt to destroy CAPITALISM.”
So yeah it’ll be great to have Clarke on the ballot in the one swing state where President Joe Biden has, for reasons unclear, been consistently polling ahead of his 2020 margin against Trump.
