Brad Schimel’s Worn-out Knees (Hour 1)
As a Waukesha County judge, a state Supreme Court candidate, and a former state attorney general, Brad Schimel knows the law is clear that candidates for judicial office “shall not personally solicit or accept campaign contributions." So why is he always joking about wearing out multiple sets of knee pads, begging people to support his campaign? It might a punchline, but it also tells us about the signals he’s sending to far-right groups who want to take back control of the court this April.
