After <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmilwaukee.com\/pressrelease\/its-been-six-months-of-inaction-wheres-the-republican-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">months of GOP inaction<\/a> and cruelty, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebozho.com\/wisconsin-people-died-coronavirus-obituaries\/\">nearly 3,500 people<\/a> here are now dead. The Republican-led state legislature hasn\u2019t passed a bill in seven months, but don\u2019t worry: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is out with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channel3000.com\/congressman-pocan-speaker-vos-unite-for-stop-the-covid-spread-ad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new TV commercial<\/a> to \u201cstop the spread\u201d!

But what are middle-aged white politicians if not a little tone-deaf?<\/p>\n<p>Vos\u2019 appearance doesn\u2019t surprise me. He\u2019s a shameless huckster and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/story\/news\/politics\/elections\/2020\/04\/08\/wisconsin-elections-robin-vos-draws-criticism-ppe-voting-remarks\/2967319001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pathologically incapable of humiliation<\/a>. In September, Vos called the state\u2019s mask mandate \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/wqow.com\/2020\/09\/22\/speaker-vos-calls-mask-mandate-illegal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">illegal<\/a>.\u201d Now that smug fuck is telling you to wear one as if it was his idea all along.<\/p>\n<p>The most embarrassing aspect of the whole stunt is Pocan\u2019s involvement. He\u2019s one of the more radical members of the House, consistently pushing further left than many of his colleagues. Palling around with Robin Vos doesn\u2019t just undercut his credibility \u2014 it takes a sledgehammer to it.<\/p>\n<p>Consider that 10 days ago, Pocan was <a href=\"https:\/\/wisconsinexaminer.com\/2020\/11\/20\/pocan-blasts-evers-vos-and-state-senate-for-covid-19-train-wreck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lacerating not just Vos<\/a> but Gov. Tony Evers and other Dems as well for their failure to manage the coronavirus pandemic. But now he\u2019s standing six feet from Vos and telling us if we do the same basic things we\u2019ve been trying for seven months to no avail, everything will be *thumbs up emoji*.<\/p>\n<p>How about instead of <em>telling us<\/em> to stay home, you <em>pay us<\/em> to stay home?<\/p>\n<p>But we can\u2019t be too surprised, because capitulating to Republicans is pretty on-brand for Democrats. And who knows? Maybe the cure for COVID is the friends we made along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Pocan is a Mac, Robin Vos is a PC, and we\u2019re fucked.
