Republicans in Wisconsin are downright blasé about hosting a nominating convention for a convicted felon just a few days after his sentencing hearing.
Common sense would dictate that the absolute worst thing for a presidential campaign would be a criminal conviction of the candidate—let alone a conviction on 34 felony charges—but this is apparently not the case.
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.

Governor should appoint special master, step toward new governance.
The more tax money they get, the less they seem to have.
Many people believe a hunting season in the fall will do nothing to eliminate crop depredations of newly sprouted corn in the spring.
Wisconsin is fighting a losing battle as other states legalize.
The lawyers who were among the 10 fake electors in Wisconsin should lose their law licenses.
Wisconsinites concerned about the flagship university should heed the words of Ryan Owens.
