MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Elon Musk is pouring millions of dollars into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race to back extreme politician Brad Schimel because he knows Schimel has been for sale his entire career, returning favors for campaign donors by giving out light sentences and refusing to hold corporations accountable.
Shady Brad Schimel has been bought off for years. He gave a sweet plea deal to a child predator after getting cash from the perp’s lawyer to fund his campaign. And while the opioid epidemic devastated Wisconsin communities, Schimel looked the other way to the tune of $17,000 in pharmaceutical industry donations and was the only Wisconsin politician to accept money from Purdue Pharmaceutical. Then, he refused to join a bipartisan lawsuit against opioid manufacturers.
Here’s everything you need to know about Elon Musk buying Brad Schimel a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court:
- Just days before Elon Musk started pouring millions of dollars into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, his company, Tesla, filed a lawsuit against the state that could reach the highest court.
- Earlier this month, Schimel told a group of canvassers that he will turn the Wisconsin Supreme Court into a “support network” for President Donald Trump’s agenda.
- A report from the Washington Post recently revealed that Schimel said the Wisconsin Supreme Court “screwed over” Donald Trump when they decided to not overturn the results of the 2020 election.
- Additionally, according to the Washington Post, “the Wisconsin Supreme Court race was not initially on the PAC’s radar, but Musk’s team was ultimately drawn to the idea of flipping control of the court.”
