Reproductive rights? Fuggedaboudit! What else would you expect from these Wisconsin GOP Gomers?


Headline:  Wisconsin Public Radio, 
In the motion filed Monday, Republican leaders argue the ban is still in effect, saying there’s no legal basis to render it obsolete based on lack of use. They also say Kaul, the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services, the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board and former Democratic State Rep. Sheldon Wasserman lack legal standing to bring a case because they’re not private citizens who could be affected by the ban. "Plaintiffs are public officials and agencies — not individuals or entities who could be accused of violating the State’s abortion laws," attorneys for lawmakers argued in a brief supporting the motion to dismiss.

Meet Nebraska homophobe hysteric and clown show conservative host Jack Riggins

 

Headline:  Nebraska Examiner, 
Riggins' recent comments on his political motive are similar to the comment Nebraska GOP chair Eric Underwood gave 3 News Now on Friday afternoon, which focused on support for Republican candidates for the Nebraska Board of Education. Underwood's first statement to 3 News Now said in part, "the tweet showcases the hard facts of what materials and books are in actually in Nebraska Schools."
More than five hours later came a second statement from Underwood that announced the tweet had been removed and that it was "not authorized." Without naming Riggins, he said the "outgoing communication director" had access removed from the account. He said the communication director was outgoing before the tweet. The party announced a new one, Meg Kallina of Weeping Water, on Tuesday.
