WI governor candidate Tim Michels loves his AR-15 enough to lie about it.

Extreme Trumper and Governor candidate Tim Michels can’t pretend he doesn’t have an opinion on stricter gun laws targeting buyers under 21 and assault rifles like the AR-15. His first reaction? Blame BLM for the mass shootings based on “cultural change” and disrespecting law enforcement: 

Michels: “And a lot of it is a byproduct of the whole ‘defund the police’ movement, where cops became bad guys. I don’t have that answer today.”

No, that’s his answer.

On WKOW’s Capital City Sunday, host AJ Bayatpour tried like hell to get a simple answer to what should have been a softball question by now. Finding an opening, Michels slipped in and bragged about his military service, a point that has nothing to do with governing a civil society unless he wants to solve a few state problems with his assault rifle.

Here’s the con; Michels said he entered the service in the early 80′s when he was around 21, and “thoughtfully” pondered why we didn’t have all the assault weapon mass shootings back then:

Michels: “We had AR’s back then, why did we not have the problems back then we have today?”

Why? Remember we’re talking about no AR-15 problems back in the mid 1980′s? Tim is either not a smart guy at all and unqualified for the job as governor, or a bullshitter. I say both:

Bayatpour may not that bit of history but did press Michels to answer the question on background checks. We got the “no answer until he’s governor” line.  Seriously, Michels is a Trump Republican, he’ll do anything to please the base. That’s what passes for “leadership.” Here’s his sleepy eyed, barely interested low-key interview:
