Overplaying their hand vs. Evers, GOP leaders back down

I'd written a post this morning this morning about GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos's empty, partisan whining aimed at Gov. Evers for being, well, gubernatorial in his exercise of emergency powers to save lives during the pandemic.

Vos has nothing to say, but says it anyway.

Nobody in the middle of an historic crisis with lives on the line wants to hear the Assembly Speaker now on a nine-month, fully-paid recess whine about not getting ample notice - - based on no known criteria - - of what the Governor was implementing 

On a timely and legal basis. 

If Vos were really interested in improving communications statewide, he'd turn off the party's talking point printing press, and shelter in place.

Silently.

So call this afternoon's new statement their tactical retreat, it's hastily jumbled mumble-jumble made more noticeable by GOP Senate Majority Leader Blurty's Von Harrumphitude's

magnificent double negative:

"We should not tolerate this for no good reason and we certainly should not tolerate it for a long period of time unless it’s in the public’s best interest," Fitzgerald said.
