Former Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker slammed the Madison Police Department&#8217;s police chief on Monday, suggesting the official appeared to express empathy for supporters of abortion rights while announcing the burning of a pro-life center.
&#8220;Do you think the Police Chief would have said this if someone did this to a Planned Parenthood building?!? They’d be out of control,&#8221; Walker <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottWalker/status/1523703779203317760">asked in a tweet</a>. &#8220;What a double standard. Violence is violence and it should condemned, period.&#8221;
Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes was <a href="https://www.cityofmadison.com/news/madison-police-chief-responds-to-arson-investigation-on-citys-north-side">addressing news</a> that a pro-life nonprofit &#8220;was targeted&#8221; by a &#8220;suspicious fire&#8221; — a Molotov cocktail was reportedly thrown into the pro-life organization&#8217;s building, one wall was burnt, and the message &#8220;if abortions aren’t safe, then you aren’t either” was spray-painted on the side of the building.
Barnes began his statement by saying: &#8220;The Madison Police Department understands members of our community are feeling deep emotions due to the recent news involving the United States Supreme Court.&#8221;
The police chief then warned against violence, saying: &#8220;Our department has and continues to support people being able to speak freely and openly about their beliefs. But we feel that any acts of violence, including the destruction of property, do not aid in any cause.&#8221;
&#8220;We have made our federal partners aware of this incident and are working with them and the Madison Fire Department as we investigate this arson,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We will provide an update on this case Monday at 2 p.m. Specific details regarding the logistics of this update will be sent at a later time.&#8221;
Madison Police Department spokeswoman Stephanie Fryer told The Daily Wire that &#8220;there are deep emotions on both/all sides regarding the recent news involving the United States Supreme Court.&#8221;
&#8220;The Madison Police Department supports the 1st Amendment and the freedoms it protects – no matter what side of an issue a person may fall,&#8221; she said.
Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers <a href="https://twitter.com/GovEvers/status/1523350267122511873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1523350268766687234%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fpro-life-group-attacked-in-wisconsin-if-abortions-arent-safe-then-you-arent-either">condemned</a> “violence and hatred in all forms, including the actions at Wisconsin Family Action in Madison” in a Twitter thread that strongly emphasized his support for abortion.
“We reject violence against any person for disagreeing with another’s view,” he said. “Violence is not the way forward. Hurting others is never the answer.”
<div>
“We will work against overturning Roe and attacks on reproductive rights by leading with empathy and compassion,” he added. “We will defend what we believe in with our words and our voices—in the streets, in halls of government, and at the ballot box. In Wisconsin, we must lead by example.”
</div>
The Madison Fire Department <a href="https://www.cityofmadison.com/fire/daily-reports/fire-on-north-side-under-investigation">said in a news release</a> that it believes the pro-life center was &#8220;intentionally set&#8221; on fire and that &#8220;the incident is being investigated as an arson.&#8221;
<div class="field container-fluid">
<div class="col-xs-9">
It is not immediately clear who set the building on fire — Wisconsin Family Action claims the attack was from an &#8220;elitist anarchist group&#8221; that threw &#8220;two Molotov cocktails into the office, after breaking windows, and then proceeded to light a fire.&#8221;
&#8220;The arsonists posted graffiti on the outside of the building near the group’s offices. The message was, &#8216;If abortions aren’t safe, then you aren’t either.&#8217; Anarchy 1312 took responsibility for the attack, leaving its logo on an outside wall,&#8221; the organization said.
Wisconsin Family Action did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire. The organization&#8217;s president, Julaine Appling, said in a statement that the attack has far broader implications than merely reactions to the leaked draft opinion.

<div class="entry-content">
&#8220;Apparently,&#8221; she said, &#8220;the tolerance that the left demands is truly a one-way street. Violence has become their answer to everything. This is what happens when leadership is missing or when leadership implies that violence is ok. In 2020, Governor Tony Evers basically looked the other way when violence erupted in Kenosha and Madison. That kind of non-response fosters what happened to us this morning, leaving Wisconsin citizens who disagree with his policies extremely vulnerable to similar violence.&#8221;
Appling hit the governor for his response to the incident, saying that he said &#8220;nothing about demanding a full investigation and criminal prosecution.&#8221;
&#8220;He just told his supporters he’d keep supporting abortion,&#8221; she added.
“But this attack fails to frighten us, and instead steels the resolve of law-abiding, common-sense, every-day folks to stand up and push back,&#8221; Appling continued. &#8220;We know today it is Wisconsin Family Action getting Molotov cocktails tossed through broken windows and fires ignited, but tomorrow it could be anyone in our state or another state who is attacked because we disagree with a policy or action, give voice to the voiceless, or stand up for what’s right.&#8221;
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last week that President Joe Biden’s view “is that there is a lot of passion&#8221; asked Thursday if Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/that-doesnt-cut-it-ben-sasse-tears-into-biden-for-failing-to-condemn-doxxing-harassment-of-the-supreme-court">condones the publishing</a> of the Supreme Court justices’ locations.
On Monday, after days of silence, the White House condemned acts of &#8220;violence, threats, or vandalism&#8221; directed pro-life centers.
&#8220;President Biden strongly condemns this attack and political violence of any stripe,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-condemns-molotov-cocktail-attack-wisconsin-anti-abortion-group">statement said</a>. &#8220;The President has made clear throughout his time in public life that Americans have the fundamental right to express themselves under the Constitution, whatever their point of view. But that expression must be peaceful and free of violence, vandalism, or attempts to intimidate.&#8221;
Psaki also tweeted that Biden &#8220;strongly believes in the Constitutional right to protest,&#8221; but emphasized that &#8220;should never include violence, threats, or vandalism.&#8221;
Over the weekend, pro-abortion rights activists showed up at the homes of Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh.
&#8220;Judges perform an incredibly important function in our society, and they must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety,&#8221; Psaki said.

‘What A Double Standard’: Former Wisconsin Governor Slams Police Chief For Response To Vandals Burning Pro-Life Clinic

Former Wisconsin Governor Slams Police Chief Over Reaction To Vandalized Pro-Life Center

Scott Walker

Wisconsin

On Sunday morning, former GOP Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, taking note of the two Los Angeles County deputies who were shot in the head in a cold-blooded ambush as they sat in their patrol car Saturday night, threw down the gauntlet to Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who is a senator from California.
Walker wrote, referencing Harris’ visit to Jacob Blake, who was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, “Will @kamalaharris visit deputies who were shot (31-year-old mom &amp; 24 year-old) in her state? She visited someone in WI who was charged with felony 3rd-degree sexual assault and said she was proud of him. She and @JoeBiden need to side with law enforcement and denounce radicals.”

Roughly an hour and a half before Walker’s tweet, Harris wrote: “Doug and I are keeping the two Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies in our hearts as they currently fight for their lives after a horrific attack last night. The perpetrator must be brought to justice.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
On September 7, attorney Benjamin Crump who is representing Blake reported that Harris visited Jacob Blake and told him that she was “proud of him and how he is working through his pain.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Blake was shot in a confrontation with police in late August. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawyer-kamala-harris-told-jacob-blake-shes-proud-of-him-social-media-blasts-her">According</a> to the Kenosha Professional Police Association (KPPA), the narrative that was built around the incident was inaccurate; they released a statement that asserted:
<blockquote>The officers were dispatched to the location due to a complaint that Mr. Blake was attempting to steal the caller’s keys/vehicle. Officers were aware of Mr. Blake’s open warrant for felony sexual assault(3rddegree) before they arrived on scene.Mr. Blake was not breaking up a fight between two females when officers arrived on scene.
The silver SUV seen in the widely circulated video was not Mr. Blake’s vehicle.
Mr. Blake was not unarmed. He was armed with a knife. The officers did not see the knife initially. The officers first saw him holding the knife while they were on the passenger side of the vehicle. The “main” video circulating on the internet shows Mr. Blake with the knife in his left hand when he rounds the front of the car. The officers issued repeated commands for Mr. Blake to drop the knife. He did not comply.
The officers initially tried to speak with Mr. Blake, but he was uncooperative. The officers then began issuing verbal commands to Mr. Blake, but he was non-complaint. The officers next went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake, so as to gain compliance and control. Mr. Blake actively resisted the officers’ attempt to gain compliance.
The officers then disengaged and drew their tasers, issuing commands to Mr. Blake that he would be tased if he did not comply. Based on his non-compliance, one officer tased Mr. Blake. The taser did not incapacitate Mr. Blake. The officers once more went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake; again, trying to gain control of the escalating situation.
Mr. Blake forcefully fought with the officers, including putting one of the officers in a headlock. A second taser (from a different officer than had deployed the initial taser) was then deployed on Mr. Blake. It did not appear to have any impact on him. Based on the inability to gain compliance and control after using verbal, physical and less- lethal means, the officers drew their firearms. Mr. Blake continued to ignore the officers’ commands, even with the threat of lethal force now present.</blockquote>
The <a href="https://archive.is/YcYRU#selection-2199.0-2331.16">criminal complaint</a> against Blake stated that Blake&#8217;s ex-girlfriend (identified as LNB in the complaint) claimed he entered her house uninvited early in the morning on Sunday, May 3, 2020, and that she awoke to see him standing over her:
<blockquote>LNB stated at about 6 AM she was woken up by the father of her children, Jacob Blake, herein known as the defendant, standing over her saying, “I want my s***.” As LNB lay there, on her back, the defendant, suddenly and without warning, reached his hand between her legs, penetrated her vaginally with a finger, pull it out and sniffed it, and said, “Smells like you’ve been with other men.”
Officer Raiche reported LNB had a very difficult time telling him this and cried as she told how the defendant assaulted her and then the defendant immediately left the bedroom.
LNB stated the defendant penetrating her digitally caused her pain and humiliation and was done without her consent. LNB stated she was upset but collected herself and ran after the defendant out the front door and then realized her vehicle was missing. LNB ran back inside to her purse, which was on the kitchen counter and checked it, quickly realizing her key to her truck (Ford Explorer 2002), a black individual key and the only key for the vehicle and her Great Lakes Debit Card were missing. LNB immediately called 911 and while waiting for Officers, checked her Great Lakes Account and saw two fraudulent ATM withdrawals on May 3, 2020 that she did not make, both at PNC Bank, 3920 Washington Road, both for $500, at an unknown time.
LNB stated she and the defendant have three children together but have never resided together in the eight years they have been on and off. LNB stated the defendant is unemployed, has no vehicle, and would not tell LNB where he was currently living. LNB stated over the past eight years the defendant has physically assaulted her around twice a year when he drinks heavily.</blockquote>
As a result of the complaint, Blake was <a href="https://wcca.wicourts.gov/caseDetail.html?caseNo=2020CF000736&amp;countyNo=30&amp;index=0&amp;mode=details&amp;_ga=2.73454356.709057279.1598671016-1492491321.1598671016" data-t-l="|inline|intext|n/a">charged on July 6</a> with felony third-degree sexual assault, misdemeanor trespassing and disorderly conduct connected to domestic abuse.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is recommending a bill that will legally require university officials to <a href="http://www.dailycardinal.com/article/2017/02/bill-would-require-uw-schools-to-protect-offensive-speech">defend offensive speech</a>.
The bill is a supplementary piece of legislation to Walker&#8217;s 2017-&#8217;19 biennial budget; that budget stipulates giving $10,000 to the UW System to revise its &#8220;policies related to academic freedom.&#8221;
<a href="http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/education/university/scott-walker-wants-law-requiring-uw-officials-to-protect-offensive/article_fae53172-118b-5ae1-96dd-dd26e3de5bd3.html">The Capital Times</a> reported on the contents of the bill:
<blockquote>
The UW Board of Regents and each college campus &#8220;shall guarantee all members of the system&#8217;s community the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge and learn.&#8221; &#8220;It is not the proper role of the board or any institution or college campus to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.&#8221; Members of the system&#8217;s community are free to criticize and contest views expressed on campus and &#8220;speakers who are invited to express their views, (but) they may not obstruct or otherwise interfere with the freedom of others to express views they reject or even loathe.&#8221; &#8220;The board and each institution and college campus has a responsibility not only to promote a lively and fearless freedom of debate and deliberation, but also to protect that freedom when others attempt to restrict it.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Leftists were predictably upset that Walker was supporting free speech; Jason Klein, spokesperson for Associated Students of Madison, told The Capital Times, &#8220;Just as speakers should have the right to comment on issues they want to, students should have the right to protest what speakers are saying. If the university is being told to censor students, that is troubling,&#8221; Jason Klein, spokesperson for Associated Students of Madison, told The Capital Times.
Michael Moscicke, president of the AAUP chapter at UW&#8211;Madison, added, &#8220;My only concern is to ensure that speech at our institutions will be protected under such a law, even when it takes the form of protest.&#8221;
Walker&#8217;s actions were likely triggered by <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/10869/shapiro-eviscerates-raucous-protesters-university-hank-berrien">protests</a> last November at the UW-Madison, where the campus Young Americans for Freedom hosted Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro, which led to large student protests.

One of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump&#8217;s allies accused Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) of rigging five elections. Seriously.
The <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/06/02/the-dirty-trickster">odious Roger Stone</a> wrote a <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/291534-can-the-2016-election-be-rigged-you-bet">column</a> in The Hill titled &#8220;Can the 2016 election be rigged? You bet&#8221; as a way to defend his former boss&#8217;s claims that the election will be rigged against him.
After rambling on about electronic voting as a means to rig the election, Stone then strangely blamed Walker for rigging elections.
&#8220;As someone with great sentimental attachment to the Republican Party, as I joined as the party of Goldwater, both parties have engaged in voting machine manipulation,&#8221; wrote Stone. &#8220;Nowhere in the country has this been more true than Wisconsin, where there are strong indications that Scott Walker and the Reince Priebus machine rigged as many as five elections including the defeat of a Walker recall election.&#8221;
Stone bases this bizarre claim off a <a href="https://richardcharnin.wordpress.com/2014/11/12/wisconsin-2014-governor-true-voteexit-poll-analysis-indicates-fraud/">blog post</a> from a man named Richard Charnin, who <a href="https://richardcharnin.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/jfk-proving-the-warren-commission-was-a-hoax-and-oswald-was-framed/">thinks</a> that &#8220;the Warren Commission was a Hoax and [Lee Harvey] Oswald was framed&#8221; in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. 
Even though his former boss won the nomination, Stone still seems to have sour grapes over Trump losing the Wisconsin primary to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), as he whined that &#8220;Marquette University poll showing a 20 point shift from Trump ahead by 10 percent to Trump behind by 10 percent which was simply absurd. Shifts like that don&#8217;t happen over brief intervals of time, absent a nuclear explosion.&#8221;
&#8220;It didn&#8217;t make any sense &#8212; unless you knew what was going on was an &#8216;instant replay&#8217; of Walker&#8217;s victories,&#8221; wrote Stone.
In other words, Stone accused Walker of rigging the primary victory for Cruz, citing no evidence other than that the polls accurately predicted a Cruz victory.
University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist professor Mike Wagner <a href="http://www.wpr.org/former-trump-advisor-scott-walker-has-rigged-5-elections">told</a> Wisconsin Public Radio that Stone&#8217;s claims were entirely baseless and seemed like it was &#8220;at least consistent with the Trump message, if not coordinated with the Trump message.&#8221;
Stone&#8217;s column may also cause things to be awkward between the Trump and Walker teams, especially since Walker is now appearing at rallies with Trump.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) slammed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for &#8220;inflaming the situation.&#8221;
At a campaign event on Monday, Clinton weighed in on the riots occurring in Miwaukee, WI.
&#8220;Look at what&#8217;s happening in Milwaukee right now,&#8221; Clinton said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities. And get back to the fundamental principle: Everyone should have respect for the law and be respected by the law.&#8221;
Walker smacked Clinton&#8217;s comments in an appearance on Fox and Friends.
&#8220;I think comments like that are just inflaming the situation,&#8221; Walker said. &#8220;I think people understand, in that neighborhood and in Sherman Park and in Milwaukee, they want law enforcement to step up and protect them. The people who live in the neighborhood want police, they want the police in Milwaukee and the sheriff&#8217;s department to step up and protect them. They didn&#8217;t want the criminals who were doing those actions against those businesses to do that. And I think statements like that and the lack of leadership we have had from the president on this issue only inflame the situation.&#8221;
The riots in Milwaukee occurred after a black police shot an armed black man, and the Wisconsin National Guard had to intervene in the rioting that was going on. For more on the Milwaukee riots, be sure to check out The Daily Wire&#8216;s Michael Qazvini&#8217;s piece <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/8355/7-things-you-need-know-about-milwaukee-riots-michael-qazvini">here</a>.
