WI: To help Rep. Dan Knodl, Republicans send mailer with graphic details of an alleged sexual ass
MADISON - Facing his toughest campaign in years, state Rep. Dan Knodl got help this week from the Republican Party with a hard-edged campaign mailer that graphically detailed an alleged sexual assault by a man who was later paralyzed in a police shooting.
Trigger warning: The police excerpts below are graphic and may prompt recall of previous trauma, states the mailer, which was sent by the Republican Party of Wisconsin on Knodls behalf.
The mailer criticizes Knodl's opponent for bringing her children to a protest over the treatment of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was shot from behind in August by a Kenosha police officer. It does not mention the shooting or concerns about racial discrimination that brought protesters to the street. Instead, it focuses on the assault allegation against Blake.
