Top WI GOPer: ‘No Need’ To Apologize For Blaming COVID Outbreak On Immigrants

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) isn’t sorry for blaming immigrants for a spike in COVID-19 cases in his district during a meeting on the outbreak with Gov. Tony Evers (D) and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R) last month.

OMG, Vos is an idiot. I guess we should lump him in with that OH state Senator Huffman.

What about Americans who travelled or worked overseas and contracted the virus. Do they count as “immigrants”?

“I’m not going to get into this when the story is actually Gov. Evers choosing to secretly record the Legislature and doing it in a way that’s never been done before,” Vos said during his interview with the Journal Sentinel.

"Yeah, let’s not talk about my xenophobic, racist scapegoating. Let’s… look at that shiny object over there! "

This bigoted fool from Wisconsin needs to get together with the bigoted fool from Ohio …and they have to figure out once and for all whether there story is the “Immigrants” or the “Coloreds” that spread the virus …

… because the rest of us have figured out that it is assholes like these guys who spread the ugly bigotry!

So…the REAL problem is the Governor taping you, not your bigoted, ignorant, lying COMMENTS that have no basis in reality? Ok.

And people wonder why I’ve been harping on getting this guy out of here.

Every thing he does is a smear on the State of Wisconsin and it just cannot continue.

Republicans are letting it all out there now. No more hiding behind euphemisms, just in your face racism and proud of it. Good. Put a fat target on your backs so we can vote you out.

Robin Vos and Scott Fitzgerald are “drunk” on their power and acclaim from the far right. They are corrupt as hell!

Trump is holding his first rally June 19th in Tulsa Oklahoma. You know, the site of the 1921 massacre when blacks were openly murdered.
Has to be Miller’s idea. Trump isn’t aware enough to come up with this on his own.

But they want to be the next power couple in Wisconsin. Vos makes no excuses that he’s going to be running for governor next term with his fondest wish to destroy Evers in the election.

That’s why this is all happening, from the removal of powers Vos legislated the day after the election, through the Spring primary lawsuit and the hard stop on Safer at Home. It’s all with an eye to kicking Evers to the curb…

Vos has over-stayed his welcome.

But the Americans that traveled are a part of us, while those people are not.
For a guy who studied PoliSci and Public Relations he sure does know how to dog whistle.
And did you guys know he was Preibus’ roommate in college?

If people are living close together, it’s because they are poor. You see this in Gulf countries, where laborers have been locked in unhygienic camps to slow the spread of coronavirus.
There’s a lot of room in this guy’s head. Maybe sublet?

Is this the same guy who gave an interview about how it was good that the WI R’s forced people to vote in person and that in person voting was perfectly safe, while he was wearing full head-to-toe PPE?

Exactly, he knows what’s he’s doing.
