Oconomowoc Barbie can't measure up to Mandela

Not content with making a lying fool of herself over the weekend by claiming Scott Walker would protect pre-existing conditions (he won't), Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch decided to blast her dog whistle today.

.@RebeccaforReal says people told her they saw @TheOtherMandela kneeling during the anthem at the opening of State Fair. She adds that she was looking at the flag and didn’t see it.

In addition to the absurdity of the statement - there were a lot of people there, if Mandela Barnes actually kneeled for the anthem, there would have been pictures everywhere and AM radio wouldn't have had another topic for 2 weeks - the racist overtones from Oconomowoc Barbie were obvious. But she made the fatal error of messing with someone smarter and tougher than her.

.@TheOtherMandela responds, “I was around so many people. I was right next to the cameras. He adds, “This is too stupid to respond to.”

Which led Kleefisch to play the "well that's what I heard," copout, complete with other fake-triotism.

.@RebeccaforReal said she did not see @TheOtherMandela kneeling at the event. “As I always do, I was looking at the flag with my hand over my heard,” she added.

And then Barnes put the dimwitted Bubblehead from Waukesha County away with this.

.@TheOtherMandela adds, "This is like me saying my neighbors saw her buying a tiki torch at Menards."

It's got the double-entendre with suburban strip malls/mega stores matched with images of white nationalists in Charlottesville. And it sucks in Menard's, whose right-wing owners secretly funneled $1.5 million a Walker front group in 2012, and got slapped last year with multiple class-action lawsuits for wage theft from their employees. A+ smack, right there.

Barnes also served notice to the WisGOPs that he and the rest of the Evers/Barnes team were onto the game they were trying to play.

She doesn't really believe it. Just needed a more graceful way to tell her supporters "don't monkey this up." https://t.co/sUUB4kW1it

And that's why I was all about seeing Mandela Barnes being Lt. Gov during the Dem primary. That's the way you get it done against these lowlifes when they try to pull their two-step jive.
