Republican candidate for governor Tim Michels says he blames his opponent for the deadly and destructive riots in Kenosha two years ago.
He says Tony Evers’ response to the crisis is “perhaps his largest failure.”
Michels says he would have sent in the National Guard.
He visited Kenosha Tuesday on the two-year anniversary of the incident.
Evers challenges Michels’ claim that he didn’t do enough, calling it “a lie.”
The incumbent says he did everything he was asked to do by Kenosha leaders and did it in a timely fashion.
125 National Guard members were deployed to Kenosha less than 24 hours after Jacob Blake was shot by a police officer.
Eventually, 500 were sent to the city.
