Peter Barca's Intentionally False Attacks on Bryan Steil

September 17, 2024

MADISON, WI - The times may change, but the truth remains the same.

Unless your name is Peter Barca.

In case you missed it, Peter Barca’s many decades in politics have seemingly corroded both his capacity to make a compelling case for his own candidacy and regard for basic facts. 

Simply put, the Barca campaign is operating under the assumption that if voters are unpersuaded by one’s own merits, concocting lies about the opposition is an acceptable alternative.

From Tom Kertscher, Wisconsin Watch:

“U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, a Republican who represents southeastern Wisconsin, has not said he supports ‘surveillance of pregnancies.’
“The surveillance claim was part of a Sept. 3, 2024, attack ad on Steil about abortion. The ad was from Democrat Peter Barca, who is running against Steil in the Nov. 5 election.

“Barca’s spokesperson cited no evidence to back the claim, only Steil’s endorsement of former President Donald Trump and Trump’s statement that states should decide whether to monitor pregnancies.”

By the Barca campaign’s admission, there is zero evidence to support their allegations in recent ads that Congressman Bryan Steil supports surveillance of pregnancy.

It would be one thing if this were merely a lone, isolated instance of Barca confusing facts with fiction. Sadly, that is not the case. It is the latest in a long line of intentional misinformation designed to smear Congressman Bryan Steil through fear-mongering and lies.

Not only has Barca been caught red-handed lying that his opponent wanted to surveil pregnancies, but his campaign has also peddled demonstrably false allegations regarding Congressman Steil’s positions on IVF, abortion bans, and birth control. 

Peter Barca is doing what failed career politicians always do: lie and retreat when the facts are inconvenient for one’s ambition.

“Peter Barca is intentionally lying about Bryan Steil’s record. Wisconsin families know who best represents their values and interests; that candidate is Bryan Steil.” - WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming
