Instead, it\u2019s a product of his disgust for the nation he calls home. <\/p>\n<p>The lieutenant governor of Wisconsin has quite a history of <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/01\/democrat-running-to-unseat-ron-johnson-labeled-trump-a-russian-spy-called-to-free-palestine-in-extreme-tweets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extremist tweets<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/21\/mandela-barnes-was-just-caught-with-another-fake-police-endorsement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">penchant for faking endorsements<\/a>, but it\u2019s the Democrat\u2019s hatred for the greatest country on Earth that really shows just how radical he is. For years Barnes has made disparaging comments about both modern America and its founding. <\/p>\n<p>In 2021, while campaigning for a chance to join Congress, Barnes told constituents that our country\u2019s birth was \u201cbad\u201d and \u201cterrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe founding of this nation? Awful,\u201d Barnes said during a question-and-answer session. \u201cWe are here now, and we should commit ourselves to doing everything we can do to repair the harm, because it still exists today \u2014 the harm, the damage. Whether it was colonization, or whether it was slavery. The impacts are felt today; they\u2019re going to continue to be felt unless we address it in a meaningful way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barnes acknowledges that the United States \u201cis the most wealthy, is the most powerful nation on Earth,\u201d but says that\u2019s only \u201cbecause of forced labor on stolen land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to teach the reality of why we are where we are, or else people will just assume it just happened this way because of hard work, because of pulling up by your bootstraps,\u201d Barnes said during a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/live\/?ref=watch_permalink&#038;v=906797600227814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook live discussion<\/a>\u00a0hosted by leftist group Citizen Action of Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Barnes tried to convince an audience at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater that \u201cwe are still waiting for our moment for America to be great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still don\u2019t comprehend that kind of campaign slogan because it\u2019s meaningless to us as a community, it\u2019s meaningless to us as a race,\u201d Barnes said, referring to Donald Trump\u2019s rally cry to \u201cMake America Great Again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That same year, Barnes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LAm7csJyDCY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repeatedly<\/a> accused America of being an irredeemably racist nation that can only be remedied by annihilation and then rebuilding. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that we can\u2019t remedy the white supremacy and the systemic racism that is built into all of our systems in just a couple of years or with any package of legislation,\u201d Barnes said during a speech lamenting the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/08\/31\/why-kenosha-police-officers-use-of-force-on-jacob-blake-was-justified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shooting of Jacob Blake<\/a>, a black man in Wisconsin who resisted arrest, appeared to be armed with a knife, and began to enter a vehicle where children were in the back seat and the weapon was later recovered.<\/p>\n<p>If Barnes loved America, he wouldn\u2019t have spent years <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1582740643054784513?s=20&#038;t=nVKH9w5zHSzLqiGCEh91WA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">justifying<\/a> the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/09\/16\/george-floyd-riot-damage-could-cost-insurance-companies-upwards-of-2-billion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">billions of dollars in destruction<\/a> that plagued the nation\u2019s cities following the death of George Floyd.
