Hovde Has Meltdown Over Fentanyl Crackdown Ad
Ever since Eric Hovde entered the race to be Wisconsin's US Senator, he's been attacking Senator Tammy Baldwin about the southern border and the fentanyl crisis. In response, Baldwin is running an ad about her helping pass a bill to crackdown on fentanyl. The ad features a woman named Brooke McKearn, whose son passed away because of fentanyl. In the ad, McKearn thanks Baldwin for listening and for working on this bill.
Carptetbagger Eric Hovde was apoplectic over the ad, claiming Baldwin had nothing to do with the bill. As proof, he offered an undocumented conversation he had with Tim Scott, Mr. Credible Source himself: Hovde was so angry, he broke his own trope of the need to calm down the rhetoric in politics:
Hovde further said that while Scott was visiting Wisconsin since the bill’s passage, he asked him “Did Tammy work with you on the amendment? He said ‘I haven’t spoken to Tammy in two years, she had zero role,’” Hovde said on the podcast.
Hovde has called the senator’s claims to be doing something about fentanyl “despicable” and he said using Brooke’s story is “far beneath any human being”
He also said it’s wrong to “act like she has been doing something, in my view is beneath a U.S. senator and far beneath any human being.”
Hovde's tantrum did not go unchallenged.
