Wisconsin Republicans Getting Desperate
Wisconsin Republicans are getting so desperate to get out of their downward spiral that they are willing to try to make scandals out of whole cloth. Their latest effort was when a couple of basement dwelling bloggers got spoon fed "exclusive" information about a supposed scandal involving Governor Tony Evers, which involved Evers using a secondary email address to conduct state business.
This scandal quickly fizzled out and became a nothing burger. Many reporters have confessed that the governor's office have released emails from the account and have been fairly open about it. Even worse for the right, he wasn't even the first one to do this. Scott Walker did it too:
The alternative email allowed Walker to use an inbox "that wasn't flooded with emails from constituents," though she noted constituent emails were handled by staff, and that Walker still saw such emails as needed.
Ignatowski said Walker's administration worked with attorneys in the state Department of Justice and felt there was a legal basis to protect Walker from being emailed directly, given there were other ways for constituents to contact the governor's office.
