The Wisconsin primary is tomorrow, and Republican Tom Tiffany is making a push to keep Wisconsin a firewall that will stop the socialist wave from taking hold in America. He joined Laura Ingraham to discuss the threat that Francesca Hong and socialism pose to Wisconsin and the nation.
Democrats in Wisconsin have surrendered to socialism.

None of them are willing to stand up to a socialist who has called for abolishing the police, prisons, and borders.
But I know the hardworking people of Wisconsin will stand as the firewall against socialism this November. pic.twitter.com/wFzlaNW0ls
"She's trouncing the other Democrats. So what has happened to the great state of Wisconsin? Why is she their choice?" Ingraham asked.
"It's amazing to watch, Laura. The Democrats have capitulated to socialism. They refuse to stand up to it in Wisconsin," Tiffany replied. "We saw it just a week ago in a debate where all of the candidates on the Democrat side, which is about a half dozen of them, none of them would take on Francesca Hong and call her out for abolishing the police, abolishing prisons, and all the other crazy ideas that she is advancing."
Tiffany also hammered her on her anti-police, anti-prison stances. Hong and her socialist allies are trying to walk back her positions, but Tiffany points out that earlier this year Hong was endorsed by the Wisconsin Electoral Socialists for her "commitment to police and prison abolition." To earn that endorsement, Hong completed a questionnaire and an interview.
"This isn't from six years ago. It's her position THIS YEAR, and it's CRAZY," Tiffany wrote on X.

Tiffany also said the state needs to reverse course on property taxes, because it's one of the nation's 10 highest states for property taxes. Tiffany has already vowed to end current Gov. Tony Evers' 400-year tax hike and to stop Hong's plan to make Wisconsin the highest-taxed state in the nation.
Tiffany is also going to make sure utility rates stop skyrocketing, too, and uncover waste and fraud in the state.

"Besides Francesca's flip-flops that you see there, she's called for the highest tax rate, income tax rate, here in the United States. It would be four percentage points higher than California. California!" Tiffany said. "And so the message we're delivering is: let's end the 400-year property tax increase that led to the largest increase in property taxes in 30 years here in Wisconsin last December."
"Let's get control of our utility rates which have been skyrocketing," he continued. "$2 billion plus in the last eight years. Let's get control of the red tape and let's also audit all of state government. It is one of the most popular issues among people I am talking to at this point. Let's root out the fraud and waste because we know it's happening here in Wisconsin, also."
