Wisconsin Dem Candidate For Governor Is A Socialist In ‘Affordability’ Clothing

If David Crowley’s record in office is any indicator (and it is), making things more affordable would not be his forte as governor.

After avowed socialist Francesca Hong hit the road this week to campaign for fellow Wisconsin leftists, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley offered a mealy-mouthed response when asked whether he would campaign with his former opponent. Crowley, who squeaked by the foul-mouthed Hong in the August primary to capture the state Democratic Party’s nomination for governor, was noncommittal. 

The decision presents a double-edged sword for Crowley, up a couple points on Wisconsin Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany in what promises to be another tight gubernatorial race. Inviting Hong on the campaign trail may energize some highly-motivated Democrat voters on the far left. It could also alienate the party’s more moderate wing — what’s left of it anyway. Hong’s uber-radical record (See: Cancel Thanksgiving) comes with obvious liabilities, even for socialist-lite Crowley. The DEI-centric Crowley once derided user fees at the county’s parks, golf courses, and beer gardens as mostly paid by “white users.” To Crowley, the funding source constitutes “racial inequity,” “born from a history of systemic racism & injustice.”

But Crowley doesn’t have time to talk about his radical record from “Woke 1.0.” He’s sticking like glue to the Dems’ No. 1 talking point, a message they believe will unleash a blue wave all over next month’s midterm elections. 

“Look, we’ve been traveling across this state and agree we need to lower costs for working families,” Crowley said of Hong earlier this week. “We’re going to continue doing the hard work of earning every single vote across the state of Wisconsin, and we don’t plan on leaving no stone unturned.”

By “hard work” he means hiding from a record of big-government and social reengineering policies that have made life painfully unaffordable for Milwaukee County residents. Crowley’s cheerleaders in Wisconsin’s accomplice media are making it easier for the incompetent county executive to hide in plain sight, generally avoiding questions he finds uncomfortable. When actually pressed, Crowley falls back on the magic, mindless abstract noun that he clearly........
