WEAC Launches Attack Ad Against Gableman

WEAC is getting in on the supreme court race.

A new player in the race is the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the state’s largest teacher’s union, which is aiming to neutralize the issue of law enforcement, something Gableman has been playing up as a strengths over Butler. Gableman was a district attorney in Ashland County, while Butler was a public defender before becoming a municipal and circuit court judge in Milwaukee.

“Imagine, a sexual predator attacks a young girl, then forces her to watch the attack on video,” the ad says, over pictures of actors re-enacting the scenario. “Judge Michael Gableman said this criminal only had to spend one year in jail.”

The ad goes on to say Gableman went easy on another child sexual predator, giving him “a fraction of the jail time” to which he was eligible. Online court records show he was given a sentence of five years and six months in prison, as well as seven years of extended supervision.

“Judge Michael Gableman, protecting criminals, not Wisconsin families,” the ad concludes.

I wonder if all of those anti-special interest people will be out there denouncing WEAC now.
