Joe Scarborough absolutely unloaded righteously on Wisconsin republicans.
.The state’s GOP House speaker, Robin Vos, appeared on video wearing full medical protective gear telling Wisconsinites that voting was perfectly safe, and the “Morning Joe” host unloaded on him. “What a clown,” Scarborough said. “That actually is the Republican speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly in full-on protective gear. This guy who looks like he’s in a hazmat suit telling Wisconsin voters that they were, quote, ‘incredibly safe’ to go out.” “Of all the things that I’ve seen in my 25 years of politics and being associated with politics and reporting on politics,” he said, “I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything as reckless and irresponsible with the public health as what I saw yesterday where Republicans jammed down the throat of Wisconsin voters an election in the middle of a pandemic where they had to stand in lines close to each other, and, yes, you can say this, the Republicans that jammed this election through risked the lives of countless Wisconsin voters and those in other states.” “Yesterday was the most extraordinarily reckless thing I’ve seen in my political life. In the middle of a pandemic, just not waiting till June like every other state, because you know what? They had a Supreme Court seat that they wanted to win. They wanted the Democrats to stay at home, they wanted to win the Supreme Court seat so they could pass more legislation which would disenfranchise more black voters.”

These republicans can all go to Hell ! Unbelievable — to be willing to risk the lives of voters simply because they are members of the other party — all just for partisan political gain. Unbelievable. These are some of the worst scum in the history of the world.

Joe also pointed out that Democrats won 190,000 more votes, but that the state was so gerrymandered that despite that huge margin in votes, the republicans controlled the state legislature 64-35 , just short of 2 to 1. As Joe said, that is not one person one vote. That makes the vote of African Americans and Hispanics and other people of color of less weight and of less power than the vote of caucasians.
