And nowhere is that more apparent than in the Wisconsin Senate race.<\/p>\n<p>A review by the Washington Free Beacon of Democrat Senate candidate Mandela Barnes\u2019 Twitter account <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/barnes-praises-khamenei-hopes-to-be-dennis-rodman-of-the-assad-regime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reveals Barnes\u2019 support for just about<\/a> every oppressive regime and dictator throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, Barnes\u2019 views on letting dangerous criminals out of prison are seriously out-of-step with the average person.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Barnes, the current Lt. Governor of Wisconsin, has said that he would like to be the \u201cDennis Rodman\u201d of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime. Rodman, a <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/dennis-rodmans-friendship-kim-jong-things\/story?id=55815698\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">former NBA star, is a friend of<\/a> North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n<p>But Mandela Barnes\u2019 social media history brings up serious questions about if elected, which anti-American forces Barnes might align himself with.<\/p>\n<p>Another example: Iran\u2019s supreme leader Ali Khamenei posted a tweet critical of America\u2019s history of slavery, saying, \u201cThe issue of US govt oppression against blacks is a 100s year-old issue,\u201d and added the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The issue of US govt oppression against blacks is a 100s year-old issue. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BlackLivesMatter?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BlackLivesMatter<\/a><br \/>395 Years a Slave! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/K5n2YeDp9N\">https:\/\/t.co\/K5n2YeDp9N<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/khamenei_ir\/status\/550587653322977280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 1, 2015<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Barnes\u2019 response to the leader of one of the most repressive regimes in the world?

Governor, he supported the release of roughly half of Wisconsin\u2019s prison population. While on the campaign trail, he told a crowd of people, \u201cWe spend a billion and a half dollars each year to keep people in prisons in Wisconsin. Which is very unfortunate because we can cut our population in half. We can make our communities safer, and we can save money in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While reasonable people may argue that perhaps non-violent offenders should be given a second look, \u201chalf\u201d of the prison population is most certainly not that.<\/p>\n<p>Watch:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In 2018, Wisconsin Democrat Senate candidate Mandela Barnes said releasing HALF of the state&#8217;s inmate population will &#8220;make our communities safer.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Yy1RfTIfnm\">pic.twitter.com\/Yy1RfTIfnm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1567896844738433026?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Under Democrat Gov.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel newspaper has even <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.jsonline.com\/apps\/Milwaukee-Homicide-Database\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">taken to tracking homicides in Milwaukee<\/a>, not only to memorialize the victims, but to maybe get a better understanding of why so much deadly violence is occurring in the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Mandela Barnes should get a handle on crime before he starts releasing criminals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepoliticalinsider.com\/new-poll-republican-mayra-flores-has-higher-net-favorability-among-hispanics-than-aoc\/?utm_source=home-headline-stories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Poll: Republican Mayra Flores Has Higher Net Favorability Among Hispanics Than AOC<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Barnes Just One Of Many Radical Candidates<\/h3>\n<p>But in this election cycle, Barnes is in the company of other especially radical candidates.
