MAGA-endorsed Tom Tiffany is trying to rebrand as a mainstream Republican in his bid for governor, all while he continues to court the far-right fringe. Tiffany appeared on “TheQuartering,” a podcast hosted by Jeremy Hambly, an internet personality with a documented history of antisemitic rhetoric and online harassment controversies. 

During the interview, Hambly offered to mobilize campaign support for Tiffany alongside Scott Presler, a prominent “Stop the Steal” activist.

“I can bring Scott Presler out. We can doorknock for you,” Hambly said.

Tiffany did not object or distance himself from the offer.

Presler was a key figure in efforts to overturn the 2020 election and has helped amplify conspiracy-driven movements, including QAnon-aligned networks. 

Tiffany’s appearance — and his silence — adds to a broader pattern of engaging with extremist voices while building support for a statewide run.

That same pattern was on display in Tiffany’s response to the fatal shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis. Tiffany called the incident “tragic,” but claimed he had not reviewed the available video. Instead, he blamed Democratic leadership, emphasizing support for expanded cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

And this isn’t the only time that Tom Tiffany has refused to stand up for Wisconsinites or has tried to hide his extremist record. 

Shortly before launching his gubernatorial campaign, Tiffany scrubbed his public record — removing references to some of the most controversial issues from his campaign website, including positions on abortion and gun rights. All in an effort to soften his image for a broader electorate, even as his record continues to tell a different story.

Following the January 6 attack, Tiffany said “violence is unacceptable,” yet still voted against certifying the 2020 election results in Arizona and Pennsylvania after the Capitol was cleared. He later opposed both the impeachment of Donald Trump and the creation of an independent commission to investigate the attack.

Tiffany has taken positions in line with those of the extreme right. He was one of just 14 members of Congress to vote against establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday — breaking with every other member of Wisconsin’s congressional delegation, Republican and Democrat alike.

Taken together, Tiffany’s belief system is clear: Tiffany aligns himself with extreme figures and policies, then attempts to hide that record when it becomes politically dangerous.
