Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley said she is “not looking forward to working with” Judge Susan Crawford, who was elected Tuesday to serve on the state Supreme Court.
"I think the way Judge Crawford ran her race was disgusting...I'm not looking forward to working with her," Bradley told reporters on Tuesday night following the special election.
"She's bought and paid for by the Democratic Party,” Bradley said of Crawford, who is liberal and was backed by Democrats.
Bradley further said she was “personally and professionally” disappointed by Judge Brad Schimel’s loss to Crawford. She went on to say that Crawford’s victory will result in “terrible consequences for the state of Wisconsin and for the state of the judiciary.”
“We will see more politicization of the judiciary,” Bradley said.
Schimel, a conservative judge who had President Donald Trump's endorsement and received $21 million in support from tech billionaire Elon Musk and his organizations, suffered a significant defeat in a state that Trump had previously won in November.
Ahead of the Tuesday election, Trump called Crawford a “radical left lunatic."
In an address to supporters following her victory, Crawford said: “I never could have imagined I’d be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won.”
Former Vice President Kamala Harris said Crawford’s victory was a victory for working people in Wisconsin.
“She will take her seat on the bench and continue to uphold the rights and protect the freedoms of all people in her state,” the former presidential candidate added.
