In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, Justin Phillips and Robin Vos Stan continue covering the fallout from David Crowley’s “Dirt McGrik” X account. They break down his latest convoluted explanations, which the hosts argue only make the situation look worse.
They also discuss Joel Brennan’s struggles on the campaign trail, noting that according to the far left, he can’t even criticize the frontrunners in the Democratic gubernatorial race without being accused of racism.
The main story of the week is the Corey Ruiz shooting in Madison. Ruiz was shot by police during an interaction, but since Madison does not equip officers with body cameras, the public has only a few videos to rely on. Protesters quickly set up their own autonomous zone, drawing comparisons to Seattle’s CHOP/CHAZ experiment a few years ago. The hosts ask whether Wisconsin is sliding back toward a 2020-style “summer of love” timeline, especially after demonstrators disrupted local events and seem angry enough to escalate further.
For candy, the guys react to the news that Francesca Hong and Mandela Barnes got matching tattoos as well as the recent arrest of former NFL Quarterback and Wisconsin native Tony Romo.
