ERIC HOVDE DOESN’T LIKE YOU → The Democratic Party of Wisconsin launched a new website — EricHovdeDoesntLikeYou.com — highlighting Eric Hovde’s long list of disparaging comments about Wisconsinites.

DAVID MCCORMICK’S “UNHINGED” ABORTION CONSPIRACY THEORY → GOP Senate candidate David McCormick “is siding with the conspiracy theorists regarding abortion access.” McCormick, appearing on the Dawn Stensland Show, “agreed with an outrageous claim” that argued the fight for abortion access is actually “an elaborate ruse to cover up a Democratic money laundering operation.”
