State Sen Carpenter's Faked Collapse Will Not Hold up to Examination

Wisconsin State Sen Tim Carpenter claims to crowd he
supports Black Lives Matter, pointing out he once
shared a flight with Lt. Gov Mandela Barnes (D).

Updated - Madison, Wisconsin — A good day for Wisconsin State Sen Tim Carpenter (D).

News this week is two Black Lives Matter protesters are charged with multiple felonies following a late-night June 23 confrontation that Carpenter started, a long-time aim of the legislator championing prisons and police.

Should this affair go to trial, the narcissistic state senator will face close examination of his conduct that will not hold up under scrutiny. Carpenter has worked his whole legislative career mobilizing the war against drugs directed against people of color, so his work with police to imprison Black Lives Matter protesters is a coup for this racist state legislator. Carpenter claimed to a crowd on June 23 how much he supports Black Lives Matter, pointing out in his soliloquy that he once shared a flight to Turkey with Wisconsin Lt. Gov Mandela Barnes (D) who is black.

The crowd did not sound convinced. After his hollered conversation, Carpenter spoke with several protests medics and peacekeepers in an eight-minute  conversation captured on audio, (Pittman/WORT News).

Carpenter voiced no medical complaints. A calm Carpenter can be heard reacting with sympathy to several protesters telling the senator that they had been shot at, and almost run-down on several occasions that night.

The conversation seemed agreeable at that point.

Carpenter did not phone 911 for medical help.

Then, Carpenter walked to his car, spotted WKOW-TV crew members, walked towards the TV crew, and performed an unconvincing 'collapse' in an apparent bid for the TV station's attention.

Carpenter did not fall uncontrollably on the pavement. He gently set himself down to a sitting position, and then laid softly in the comparatively soft decorative brush on the ground next to the sidewalk and WKOW staff.

Carpenter then began a four-week media blitz.

While Carpenter tended to his I-hate-Black-Lives-Matter crusade, the veteran racist then signed on to a bill criminalizing defacing of statutes, making the protesters' point that this guy cares more about statutes than black lives.

Nothing from Carpenter about decarceration, decriminalization, police violence and police defunding.

But Carpenter was not finished.

Nada Elmikashfi is a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for State Senate District 26 in Dane County.

Elmikashfi criticized Carpenter's proposal to make criminal felons out of anyone defacing a statue, an initiative echoing Donald Trump's protect-the-statues crusade.

Writes Elmikashfi on July 16, commenting on Carpenter's co-authorship of his Senate initiative seeking sponsors:

"Get me in the senate so I can block this absolute bullshit. You shouldn’t have been assaulted Senator Carpenter; but that doesn’t mean you get to block our civil rights movement. If this is passed on a bipartisan basis; @GovEvers needs to veto it. #BlackLivesMatter."

Carpenter is known around the capitol for his dislike of women, especially women of color. 

Carpenter went apoplectic, resulting in a multi-day rant that concluded with the intercession of the state Party Chair and the Senate Minority Leader criticizing the unhinged Carpenter who eventually apologized.

Reports The Capital Times:

Wisconsin's Democratic leaders are denouncing 'online bullying' perpetrated by Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, after he targeted Madison Senate candidate Nada Elmikashfi in a flurry of Twitter posts over the last few days that eventually led to the brief suspension of his account for harassment.

Both the state Democratic Party and Senate Minority Leader Janet Bewley decried Carpenter's actions in statements Monday morning, noting the Milwaukee senator's behavior 'crossed the line.'

'Nobody should be subjected to online bullying, which disproportionately harms women and people of color — not during this moment of long-overdue reckoning with racial justice, and not ever,' party officials wrote in their statement.

Carpenter is silent now.

Most likely this is because any defense attorney can win an acquittal against the charge-stacking facing two women against whom Carpenter holds a bias because of their gender and race solidarity.

Carpenter has given defense attorneys a lot of ammo.

A good guess is that this affair will end with restorative justice as Tim Carpenter's story is so full of holes, he cannot politically survive close examination of his conduct and his appalling record.
