Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers was pretty mad when the Republican-dominated Senate rejected his agriculture secretary nominee last week. He’s still not over it and earlier statements about civility in public life seem to be shoved aside.
While talking to staffers in the ag-department last Thursday Evers was quoted as saying the firing of Brad Pfaff was “amoral and stupid,” adding “We can’t let the bastards keep us from doing our good work.”
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald accused Evers of being “shockingly disrespectful” to Republicans.
An Evers spokesperson says the governor isn’t going to apologize.
