“Freedom Loving” Republicans Call Mandela Barnes Radical for Protesting the Police Murders of Black People (conduct that is Already illegal) and Seeking Enforcement of Existing Laws (the status quo)
/THEY LOVE DOGMA AND BELIEFS NOT FREEDOM. From [DEPENDENTMEDIA] It's not really news that Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, vying to be the state's first Black U.S. senator, has on occasion strongly criticized American police.
He's made his thoughts known in a number of forums.
But it is news when it turns out that Barnes offered his harsh words about American law enforcement to a Russian-funded media outlet. Barnes, a Democrat, is taking on Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson next month.
Johnson, of course, has had his own Russian problems.
Records show that Barnes did six interviews with RT, formerly Russia Today, in 2015 and 2016, during his second term as a state lawmaker. RT is a Russian state-controlled international news television network funded by the Kremlin.
In May 2015, for instance, Barnes told RT that police brutality is a “total epidemic” in the United States. A month earlier, he posted a screenshot of his interview with RT on the Baltimore protests, commenting, "People are tired of being targets."
