A political strategist working for controversial liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court justice Janet Protasiewicz included equine sounds and images in negative campaign ads to reference a joke that Protasiewicz’s opponent looked “like a horse-f—–,” according to the justice’s campaign manager.

Who is Janet Protasiewicz?

Protasiewicz was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in April 2023, and by taking the bench the following August, she gave the court a 4-3 liberal majority for the first time since 2007. Prior to Protasiewicz’s time on the bench, the court’s then-conservative majority issued several rulings relating to the 2020 presidential election that the court’s liberal justices derided as “downright dangerous to our democracy.”

The judge’s campaign was heavily financed by campaign contributions from Democrats, and she became a target for conservatives, who threatened to impeach her if she refused to recuse herself from litigation over districting maps. Republicans, including Former Gov. Scott Walker, said that Protasiewicz was obligated to recuse from the case, because she once slammed the state’s gerrymandered districting maps as “absolutely positively rigged.”

Protasiewicz refused to recuse, and eventually, the impeachment threats lost steam after the Judicial Commission dismissed complaints against her and the Republican Assembly speaker said impeachment was inappropriate.
