Public Enemy No. 1 for Democrats Is…Tony Evers?!?

Dan O’Donnell - May 18, 2026

As jarring as it has been to see Democrats turn on Governor Evers, Dan O'Donnell explains that it shouldn't be surprising: They will always destroy whatever stands in the way of what they believe to be rightfully theirs: Your money.

As much as it pains conservatives to admit, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has consistently been the state’s most popular politician; regularly approaching or topping 50% in job performance and personal favorability polls while leading Republican leaders and other Democrats often struggle to hit the 40s. One would think in a pivotal election year in which Dems are perceived to be the frontrunners, they would embrace the longtime face of their party and cruise to victory on the strength of the goodwill he has built with voters.

One would think that but, come on, these are Wisconsin Democrats! When have they ever done the rational thing? Nearly every single prominent figure in the party has bent over backwards not to just slam the budget surplus deal Evers reached with Republican legislative leaders, but to attack him personally and bend over backwards to kill it.

Which they did. And then taunted Evers over it.

The bizarre and nearly unprecedented public spectacle began almost immediately after Evers announced the agreement, with Democrat Senate Minority Leader Diane Hesselbein pronouncing, “From my perspective, there is no deal.”

This was a clear signal to all legislative Democrats that opposition to it was mandatory, and one by one they all fell in line…with increasingly hostile press releases and tweets.

PSI Chairman Johnson to Secretary Kennedy: HHS Must Speed Up Production of Relevant Records on COVID-19 Vaccines

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson - May 12, 2026

WASHINGTON – Yesterday [May 11, 2026], U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (“PSI” or “the Subcommittee”), sent Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), a letter calling for the immediate production of records relating to pediatric deaths following COVID-19 vaccination.

In response to Chairman Johnson’s December 15, 2025 letter about an internal Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) document acknowledging that the COVID-19 vaccines led to the death of at least 10 children, HHS produced another internal memorandum containing more information about pediatric deaths.

This December 5, 2025 FDA memorandum described 96 pediatric deaths following COVID-19 vaccination, some of which were labeled as “possibly” or “probably” related to the vaccine.

Back Then vs. Now…
