Schimel (R) puts space between him and Trump

[RandySF]

Schimel, a former Republican Wisconsin attorney general, sought to put space between him and President Trump during the debate, insisting he wouldn’t be a “yes man” for the president despite recent reporting suggested he would be an ally for Trump.

Asked about recent mailers from America PAC that said “Conservative Brad Schimel will support President Trump’s agenda!”, Schimel maintained he would “enforce the law.”

“I will apply the law the way the Legislature has written it. If President Trump or anyone defies Wisconsin law, and I end up with a case in front of me, I’ll hold them accountable, as I would anybody,” he added.

Those remarks came after the Wisconsin Examiner reported earlier this month that Schimel suggested to canvassers that he would be a “support network” for the president.

He also offered praise of Trump during an interview with WISN 12 last month and suggested he’d welcome an endorsement from the president.

1. Hope this point is being screamed loud and often in Wisconsin

I donated to his opponent. Don’t let him get away with it. Fingers crossed in this race.
