Washington, D.C. – If you thought the Barnes Brigade couldn’t get more liberal, think again. Last week, Sunrise Movement – the leftist environmental group that popularized the Green New Deal – endorsed Mandela Barnes for Senate, concluding that he is a candidate who will “fight like hell” for Wisconsin residents. More like a candidate who will fight solely for liberal policies over what Wisconsinites want.
This group targeted President Biden and moderate Democrats over refusal to quickly address their climate agenda.
As reported by FOX News:
Founded in 2017, the Sunrise Movement has positioned itself as one of the most aggressive climate organizations by laying the foundation for the Green New Deal and taking aim at candidates and politicians who were not vocal enough about climate and environmental initiatives.
The group has promoted a green agenda and endorsed the Green New Deal, arranging multiple protests and sit-ins to spread its message, including one that was attended by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s office in 2018.
A February report from The New Yorker stated that Waleed Shahid, a political consultant for Ocasio-Cortez, advised Sunrise Movement leaders to craft a slogan for the Green New Deal prior to the sit-in in Pelosi’s office.
