Bernie Sanders trolls Donald Trump's visit to Wisconsin
MADISON - U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is seeking to defend his friendly turf in Wisconsin against a second win by President Donald Trump in 2020 by tying job losses across Wisconsin to the president.
"Donald Trump Lied To Wisconsin Workers," a front-page ad to run in Friday's Green Bay Press-Gazette and paid for by Sanders' campaign alleges. "In a Bernie Sanders White House, we will end the corporate greed behind the Shopko closures, Kimberly-Clark layoffs and Foxconn scam."
The ad will run a day before Trump makes his first visit to Wisconsin as part of a re-election bid. The president won the state in the general election in 2016 the first time Wisconsin voters picked a Republican candidate for president in three decades.
Sanders, who won the state in its Democratic primary election, is seeking the matchup that could have been. Both are making early pitches in the state, which is key to Trump's second term and pivotal for Democrats to restore their so-called "blue wall" strategy.
