This was just posted on the Threads account of Wisconsin Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez: I am posting the original as a screen grab and then the reply separately as a cut and paste because the type face gets too small to read otherwise. The complete post is posted below for accuracy.
[Yesterday, reporters got a ‘tip’ that my husband is undocumented. Spoiler: he’s a proud, naturalized U.S. citizen. We are five days into this race and my opponents are already resorting to racist, made-up attacks about my family. It’s pathetic, it’s ugly, and it sure as hell won’t lower a single grocery bill or fix a single school. If this is their best shot, they better pack a damn lunch.]
First, since we don't know who provided the tip, I hope that the news agency that received the supposed tip is going to look into the background of the liar and take whatever action they deem appropriate. But if this did come from a campaign, political party, or political activist it should be exposed and condemned.
Second, we don't know the media outlet involved. But after running a statewide campaign for Lt. Governor and winning, I would expect that the media would have fully vetted Rodriquez a hundred times over by now and wouldn't have given this an ounce of air. WTF you guys?
Wisconsin deserves better!

I believe the "news source" is the extremist Right Now Wisconsin.
