In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, the fellas react to the sudden dropout of Mandela Barnes from the Democratic gubernatorial primary. An imminent story about his previous relationships dropped that strongly implied the use of his position of power to take advantage of women. Regardless of the full facts, Barnes exited the race and effectively signaled that Francesca Hong is now the nominee.
The hosts also cover Francesca Hong’s appearance on Fox News, which sent national conservatives into a frenzy. Hong is suddenly everywhere at the national level in a way Wisconsin candidates rarely achieve, solidifying her status as the presumptive Democratic nominee barring something major.
They close the episode with an interview featuring Lucas Vebber from the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL). Vebber walks through the landmark Act 10 case, its history, significance, and current status.
