.............................................
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin, has touted a similar Buy American theme, and has introduced a bill to require the use of U.S. steel and iron on some government water projects.

Indeed, during an April 2017 visit to Snap-On in Kenosha, Trump endorsed Baldwin’s legislation: "I support the concept of everything from the U.S. I’m very much into that and I agree with her 100 percent.".............


................(A footnote: When we asked Baldwin for her position on Trump’s tariff plan, she took a tempered approach, saying she supports sending a "strong message to bad actors" like Russia and China, but fears a blanket tariff could start a trade war that could hurt Wisconsin manufacturers and the state's agricultural economy.)


Our rating

Vukmir said Baldwin "claims to support a ‘Buy American’ philosophy, but her actions speak louder than her empty words."

Vukmir cited several broad matters that relate to the economy, but none that specifically applied to undermining Buy American initiatives. Meanwhile, Baldwin has been engaged with other "Buy American" actions. Indeed, at times her views seem to align with Trump’s "America First" policies.

We rate Vukmir’s claim False.

1. Vukmir

is another ALEC member and Koch puppet.

She deserves no attention what-so-ever.

2. I support my rep Tammy!

[riversedge]

4. well, I supported Tammy when she was my Rep when I lived in Madison and now support her

as my Senator. I think you know she is a Senator.

[Heartstrings]

5. Sure do....

Just saw her (and my other rep Mark Pocan) speak at the March for our Lives here in Madison. Both get a hefty monthly donation from me, they're going to need it!

[riversedge]

6. Glad you were able to march with them and thanks for the donation. Stay well.

[Heartstrings]

7. It was cold, but we were so glad we participated....

I kept my sign for the next march!
Stay well, yourself! We have a fight ahead of us between now and November. A fight that needs to be won....

[Still In Wisconsin]

3. Vukmir is indeed a Walker sycophant.

She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed and holds office because her district is deep red more than any other reason. I predict her Senate run goes about as well as Baldspot’s run for President.
