Ep.11 - The Progressives Force Tony Out | 7/28/25

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys unpack Gov. Tony Evers’ bombshell July 24, 2025, announcement that he won’t seek a third term in 2026, shaking up the state’s political landscape. The Democratic primary quickly turns into a “clown car” as Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, often seen as low-profile, announces her candidacy within 24 hours, facing an uphill battle for name recognition. Other potential contenders eyeing the race include Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, Attorney General Josh Kaul, State Sen. Kelda Roys, and former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, with more likely to jump in. They also poke fun at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s apparent amnesia about the Milwaukee Braves’ history, confusing the team’s 1950s legacy. For a wild tangent, they explore Kristin Brey’s “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories about Stephen Colbert. The episode closes with a nostalgic tribute to Hulk Hogan, celebrating the wrestling icon’s cultural impact.
