WI Attorney General Candidate Brad Schimel's No Good, Completely Rotten, Couldn't Get Worse Week Just Did

Brad Schimel, Republican candidate for WI Attorney General, has more skeletons than a Halloween haunted house.

Earlier this week, we reported about Brad Schimel, the Republican candidate for Wisconsin State Attorney General, who was having a very bad, no good, couldn't get any worse week.. It turned out that Schimel had ties to the John Doe investigation into the corruption of Scott Walker and his staff. Schimel allowed a fellow Republican, Christopher Weismueller, to get off with a slap on the wrist for knowingly destroying evidence and lying to prosecutors.

...

Then again, it shouldn't be all that surprising since this is the same person who said that he had no qualms about the pay for play style of government that Scott Walker and is fellow Dark Money Republicans favor, calling it the "essence of representative government."

...

Another skeleton fell out of Schimel's closet when it was revealed that a Wisconsin advocacy group, One Wisconsin Now, filed a complaint with the Government Accountability Board against Schimel, stating that Schimel illegally used campaign funds for personal use.

A review of Schimel’s campaign finance reports by One Wisconsin Now found that between 2008 and 2012 on at least sixteen occasions he used campaign funds to directly pay babysitters, including family members.

Brad Schimel would have defended ban on interracial marriage as AG

Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said he would have reluctantly defended a ban on interracial marriage had he been attorney general in the 1950s — a stance Democrats criticized Wednesday.
Schimel, a Republican, is running for attorney general in the Nov. 4 election against Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ, a Democrat.

For months, Schimel has said he would have defended the state’s ban on gay marriage in court because the attorney general is obligated to uphold state laws and provisions in the state constitution.

As he discussed his stance on that issue last month on an Oshkosh cable access program, he was asked if it would have been his obligation to defend a ban on interracial marriage if he had been an attorney general in a state with such a law 60 years ago.

He sighed and said, “Yeah, it is.”
