The Dick Uihlein-aligned Restoration of America PAC is up with a new TV ad in the governor’s race using footage from a brawl at the Wisconsin State Fair to knock Crowley on crime.
The spot opens with the video from the State Fair as the narrator says multiple officers were attacked and multiple fights broke out.
“Want Milwaukee-style chaos and mayhem across Wisconsin?” the narrator says. “That’s exactly what we’ll get if soft-on-crime David Crowley gets a promotion to governor.”
The narrator says under Crowley’s watch, Milwaukee gave “safe harbor to illegal aliens,” an accused murderer was set free, law enforcement was cut and “murder rates soared.”
