Taxin’ Tom Nelson touts endorsement from a socialist
September 20, 2016
It looks like Tom Nelson might be having an identity crisis. He’d like voters to believe he’s a moderate bipartisan guy, but yesterday he sent an emailing touting the endorsement of socialist Bernie Sanders.
Like socialist Bernie Sanders, Tom Nelson is big a fan of raising taxes on hardworking Americans. Taxin’ Tom voted to increase state taxes and fees by over $3 billion and raised taxes on motorists and smokers, all while he gave himself a pay raise.
So Taxin’ Tom can pretend to be a moderate all he wants. Wisconsin voters know he’s just a tax and spend liberal who’s proud to be endorsed by a socialist.
NRCC Comment: “Now that Tom Nelson is touting the endorsement of socialist Bernie Sanders, it’s obvious that Nelson is no bipartisan voice. Wisconsin voters deserve a representative who will work across the aisle, not someone like Tom Nelson who is thrilled to be endorsed by a socialist.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
