AWisconsin state senator who stood up to attacks on the 2020 election results from other Republicans announced Friday that she will not seek another term in office.
State Sen. Kathy Bernier (R) said in a statement that no one has forced me out and politics has not played a role in my decision, but the announcement came just a few weeks after she joined a small group of Republicans telling the truth about 2020.
Bernier took aim last month at the partisan investigation of the 2020 performed by Michael Gableman, a former state supreme court justice who has stacked his review with investigators whove pushed lies about the 2020 election, and who has himself entertained theories about widespread voter fraud, despite lacking any evidence. Bernier called such claims a charade.
No election is perfect, but there is no evidence of intentional malfeasance, no evidence that the election in 2020 wasnt accurate, the state senator said. She separately suggested that Gableman wrap up sooner rather than later, because the longer we keep this up, the more harm were going to do for Republicans.
