In case you missed the "race hustlers" dog whistle blown by a trans rep from Green Bay.

I saw this on Xitter yesterday and wanted to share. Also humble brag, Sen. Jeff Smith was my boss in 2010 for a year. Best boss ever. Also, great at owning idiots with simple questions.

For those not on Xitter, there is a video from Wisconsin Eye showing a WI Senate Committee meeting over lord knows what, but this idiot rep brought up all on his own a long comment about race hustlers. You can also catch the audio on Keith Olberman's podcast from 2/1/24 where he calls out the old post Civil War dog whistle. He also calls Derrick Van Orden the worst person in the world for his stupidity. Great day for WisGQP.

And, as always, it's just pure projection on 5he racists' part. They hate it when their victims stand up to them and call them out.
