GET ME REWRITE: Wisconsin Spotlight orchestrates faux outrage, gleefully throws logs on GOP voter suppression fire

 

Transphobe Kathy Bernier gets into the act.


Two Republicans — Sen. Roger Roth of Appleton and Sen. Kathy Bernier, a former Chippewa County clerk and leader of the Senate’s elections committee — cited the article in claiming Genrich gave partisan consultants oversight of the election and access to ballots, though Bernier said she doesn't believe that this changed the election's outcome. 
“He has shown himself unfit as an executive and should himself resign immediately from the position of Mayor of Green Bay,” Bernier said in a statement. “While this does not necessarily delegitimize the results from Nov. 3, it does stink to high heaven.”
What stinks to high heaven is the Wisconsin GOP's continuing inability to acknowledge the fairness of the 2020 elections -- for shit's sake, they have a 20 to 12 advantage in the Senate and 60 to 38 advantage in the Assembly -- and their renewed efforts to suppress the vote.

What they are doing is trying to delegitimize government. It's deranged behavior.
