There is now a second recall effort underway against Comrade Speaker Robin Vos. Rich Kremer reports Second recall effort launched against Robin Vos (‘Campaign driven by same organizers behind first Vos recall attempt, which appears to have fallen short of required signatures’):
A second recall attempt has been launched against Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, the effort driven by the same organizers who appear to have fallen short of signatures in their first attempt to remove the powerful Republican from office.
Burlington resident Matthew Snorek filed paperwork with the Wisconsin Elections Commission Wednesday. It states Vos “should be recalled for his tacit support of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), a “lack of election integrity” and “flagrant disrespect for his own constituents by calling them ‘whack-jobs, morons and idiots.’”
The insults from Vos were directed at Snorek and others behind their first recall attempt, which started in January.
According to the WEC, signed petitions for the new recall effort would be due no later than May 28.
May 28th? Plenty of time!
Against the Odds, the US Economy is Thriving:
“whack-jobs, morons and idiots.” Seems about right. Snorek is certainly all of that, as well as someone who can’t seem to find real people to sign his recall Vos papers. Calling out Vos as a comsymp seems to be a stretch, though. I have called Vos many things, but that never occurred to me. It’s not a very imaginative slur by Snorek, as it has been bandied about since the days when Joe McCarthy roamed free in Wisco-World. The MAGA recall folks do seem to have an active imagination, though, when it comes to labeling Vos as a lefty.
The MAGA wing of the Republican party, both locally and nationally, is the political equivalent of flesh-eating bacteria, munching contentedly on itself. Yum!
Agreed. It’s such a nutty accusation against Vos that I’m not sure I could have imagined it if I’d tried. I couldn’t stop laughing as I searched for a CCP meeting on Getty Images.
Old, tired, and almost as though they pulled letters from a Scrabble bag to form the sentence.
That’s not quite on point, though, as I’d guess no one in this dispute plays much Scrabble.
(There’s a group that parodies conspiracy theories by contending that ‘birds aren’t real.’ They have more credibility than anyone in this dispute.)
What a dog’s breakfast this is.
