State Debate: State GOP gets tongue lashing from bloggers; Lena Taylor remembers Fannie Lou Hamer

Yes, the GOP’s enabling of the coronavirus spread remains on repeat, adds Political Environment blogger James Rowen. He posts links to a series of pushbacks Republican leadership has promoted since the virus lurched into a pandemic.

Madison’s rightie blogger David Blaska wonders who will be the Madison City Council’s Adam Schiff at tonight’s meeting on what to do about Ald. Paul Skidmore, accused of using a sexual slur during a Council hearing several weeks ago. He likens the hearing on Skidmore to the House’s impeachment of Donald Trump.

In a Milwaukee Courier column, State Sen. Lena Taylor writes that “as they stand by, we need to stand up,” a reference to Donald Trump’s debate remarks concerning the white nationalist group Proud Boys. His appeal to racists, she says, made her remember celebrated civil rights advocate Fannie Lou Hamer, who rallied people to stand up against hatred and bigotry.
