Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes said people who support "God, country, and guns" are espousing the same "dangerous" rhetoric as members of the terrorist group ISIS.
Wisconsin Dem praised Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei and Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Barnes made the comments in Twitter in November 2015, two days after terrorists carried out a string of coordinated attacks in France that killed 130 people.
ISIS, which claimed at the time that it had established a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria—took credit for the attacks.
His opponent, Republican senator Ron Johnson, slammed Barnes over praising Iranian Ali Khamenei and defending Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Barnes did not respond to a request for comment.
