Rebecca Cooke Can’t Hide Her Radical Far-Left Statements and History

Rebecca Cooke will say or do anything for political convenience but the truth lies in what she says behind closed doors and who has signed her paychecks.

Despite a tweet drafted by consultants and posted by Cooke to denounce political violence, Cooke has previously told Wisconsinites “we are fighting fascism” and worked for a radical lunatic that promises to provide free beer if Trump is assassinated.

“Western Wisconsinites know bullshit. It’s why they have rejected Commie Rebecca Cooke twice before and will once again this fall.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

Wisconsin House candidate Rebecca Cooke called on politicians to “bring the temperature down” following the attempted assassination of top Trump administration officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend.

She has also proudly told potential voters at a campaign event that she intends to fight Republican “fascism.”
