Like Trump, Vos denies racist comment blaming "science," and by creating paranoid Gov. Evers conspiracy. Scott Fitzgerald goes along.

On the secret recording of a phone call last month with Gov. Tony Evers, Vos blamed high numbers of COVID-19 cases in Racine on immigrants.

Here it comes…

Fitzgerald added the recording will “completely erode our ability to work together for the foreseeable future.”

Oh no, not that. Just when you thought the legislature, after all their politically condescending hysterical criticisms and phony outrage, were finally going to get along with the Gov. Evers administration…our dream is crushed?

Rep. Robin Vos blamed Evers who said he didn’t know about the recording. Not only that, the recording only came out because of an open records request, not slipped anonymously to the media…so how can you plan that? Still, Vos “suggests” a conspiracy and victimhood, that sends the necessary signal:

“I sincerely doubt that he did not know,” Vos said.

You see, Vos outright blamed Hispanic and Latino immigrants for a spike in Covid-19 cases, you know, because of their “culture.” They live “much closer” together…you get his meaning, right?:

“I know the reason, at least in my region,” Vos said in the recording, “it’s because of a large immigrant population where, you know, it’s just a difference in culture where people are living much closer and working much closer.”

Vos responded on Twitter, saying: “Listen to what was said and not the sensationalist headline. Facts show communities of color are disproportionally impacted. That’s science.”

Vos said by refusing to answer who consened, which is required by law, “clearly there is a cover up in progress. I’m waiting to see what Gov. Evers’ actions are. Not his words, I’m sick of words. What are his actions to deal with this clearly, clearly unprecedented breach of trust?”

Fitzgerald said Evers had lost control of his office in an appearance on a conservative talk radio show Thursday. “I think we’ve got a half-engaged governor with a staff that continues to manipulate. I don’t think he’s got control. In 26 years in the Legislature, this is one of the most brazen examples of unethical, unprofessional conduct I have ever seen. The governor has gone so far off the deep end, he’s making secret Nixonesque recordings from the East Wing of the Capitol. This conduct is totally unbecoming of our state’s top executive and opens up questions about what other recordings his administration may have.”

Sadly and because the Dems continue to play the abused feminine role in politics, they found the weakest way possible to fight back against this racist assault…

Democratic state Rep. Jonathan Brostoff of Milwaukee said the staff member who recorded the conversation should be fired immediately. Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh, said ”It’s bush league and amateur to have something like that happen and I do not condone it in any way.”

Wow, now that’s focusing like a laser on Vos’ outrageous racist stereotype?

As in Milwaukee, the hardest hit communities in Racine have been communities of color. About 45 percent of the city of Racine’s population identifies as African American or Latino. About 85 percent of the coronavirus cases in the city are people of color, Racine Mayor Cory Mason said in a previous interview with WPR.

In that county, by ethnicity, 23% of positive cases are Hispanic or Latino, 74% are not Hispanic or Latino … 74% are reported as white, 13% Black and 14% other.
