Rebecca Kleefisch in 2022 WI Governor's race
On Civil Rights:
Compared marriage equality to people marrying dogs
One has only to look over the cast of rabid Trumpniks vying for the Republican spot on the 2022 gubernatorial ticket to understand the danger.
Leading candidate Rebecca Kleefisch infamously compared marriage equality to a "slippery slope" that would lead to people eventually marrying dogs or inanimate objects.

On Health Care:
Government shouldn't interfere with people's health care
I think the government does not have the business telling people what should be done with their health care. I think that is the government stepping in between a doctor patient relationship, whether it is Obamacare or whether it is the vaccine mandate.
This is something that is preventing more people from jumping back into our workforce, which Wisconsin has a desperate problem with today and making sure that the government is a nanny state. We just don't need it.

On Education:
Claimed cultural responsive teaching is critical race theory
Kleefisch released a video accusing state education officials of promoting critical race theory at a professional development conference. The sessions are about culturally responsive teaching, which has been incorporated in teaching for years to ensure
the backgrounds of all students are acknowledged in lessons. Kleefisch did not take the video down after learning the session's "CRT" did not refer to critical race theory. Instead, Kleefisch accused the educators without evidence of a cover up.
