Alec Zimmerman, a campaign spokesman for Kleefisch, confirmed Monday that the former Republican lieutenant governor has tested positive for COVID-19. Zimmerman said Kleefisch, a colon cancer survivor, was exposed to coronavirus at a church event on Sept. 12 — three days after she announced her gubernatorial bid. She learned of her exposure four days later, took a test and got a positive result on Friday. "She is feeling fine," Zimmerman said. "We have canceled all upcoming events and are notifying recent close contacts. Rebecca received the vaccine last spring."Huh, I didn't see Crazy Eyes mention that she was vaccinated in that video, did you? Nor did she reveal that she was going to get vaccinated when she was pandering to fundie rubes with this garbage last December.
Naturally, Kleefisch was visiting areas with high case rates when she caught the virus, and her and her fellow pro-COVID GOPs were too cool to mask up.Breaking: Rebecca Kleefisch (now quarantining w/Covid) has quietly deleted tweet (below) discouraging pro-lifers from getting vaccinated. In the tweet, she displayed a graph indicating (falsely) that all vaccines were, in one way or another, "abortion-derived." (those with red) pic.twitter.com/vyCMeHYdUS

Speaking of GOPs with COVID, we got an update today on another one of the Coronavirus Crew.Stops in Hudson, Rice Lake, and Eau Claire yesterday to meet with Wisconsinites who are ready for better leadership. (Don’t worry - we had the game on!) pic.twitter.com/u8ypbsboya

I thought this guy was a goner (and was told as much by people who work in health care), so as a human being, I'm glad he might make it through. I won't even complain about my tax dollars and health insurance costs going up to help Sen. Jacque recover from his self-inflicted sickness. In addition to getting the Rona, Jacque and Kleefisch had something else in common - careless behavior in groups and failing to tell others that they might have been put at risk.Update to this: Sen. Andre Jacque was transferred today to a new care facility after being hospitalized for more than a month. https://t.co/Jy7BgkzC7l

Before testing positive for the virus, Jacque authored and supported legislation to end the statewide face mask mandate before vaccines were available and to ban vaccine requirements. His hospitalization came days after he testified in at least two public hearings in the Wisconsin State Capitol without a mask. Legislative leaders did not reach out to hearing attendees to notify them of a possible exposure to COVID-19.It's especially infuriating to see Kleefisch and Jacque act this way when they have a combined total of 10 kids, some of whom are not old enough to get the vaccine. And the spike in cases that's happening in Wisconsin is mostly due to kids going back to school, as children under 18 (shown in blue) have had a major increase in cases since the start of this month.
They deserve to lose, and they need to lose. And I'm tired of them holding back this state and this country.You have to really dig for it on the home page, but Fox News has interesting poll numbers on masks, mandating vaccines, etc https://t.co/7mg3IFQESo pic.twitter.com/unhsr8F1An

You say 'crazy'... I say 'hypnotic.' But, it's going to be fascinating watching her try to balance the chirpy, cheerful Mom routine with the dark, angry needs of the current Republican base. I think those two halves are going to collide. The dry technocrat Evers might be more palatable to many in these jumpy, whipsawed times we are in.
