The Badger Project reported this week that our unhinged congressman took to X to compare the judge presiding over Trump’s fraud trial to an obscure Nazi judge, adding that he was “Communist scum” while equating Joe Biden to Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Adolf Hitler.
Nearly four years later, we are still living with the consequences of the Trump campaign’s fake elector scheme. Election denialism and conspiracy theories continue to poison our public life.
Conservative candidate for state Supreme Court a national leader in pushing to ban abortions.
