Wiggy's Faux Outrage Over Pussy Hats Redux

The Wisconsin State Fair is a wonderful time of year. The sound of many bands, the lights of many rides, cream puffs, deep fried cheese curds - well, deep fried anything...on a stick.

It's also the time for right wing faux outrage and hypocrisy.

Late last night, I was advised that James "Wiggy" Wigderson, newly installed editor of the now Charlie Sykes-less Right Wisconsin blogsite, was going to do a faux outrage piece about Wisconsin Democrats selling pussy hats at their booth at the State Fair. So I wrote up a quick piece for it on Cog Dis, well before Wiggy got his post out.

But now I see I made a rookie mistake and forgot that when it comes to the right wing and faux outrage, there's more. There's always more.

Wiggy's post was actually much, much worse than I had anticipated.

“Pussy hats,” or “pussyhats,” first made their appearance at the Women’s March to protest President Donald Trump. The pink knitted hats were in response to a recording of a private conversation in 2015 in which Trump said that women would allow him to “grab them by the pussy.” Since then they have become a popular symbolic gesture at leftwing events.

then I doubt that you are the first one that came up with that suggestion. He certainly looks like a member of the Make America Great Again team.

back when we were both students at UW-Milwaukee... never thought he'd go this far off of the deep end... he was a pig then, but he did a much better job of hiding then i guess.

this is the worst part of having trump for a president, it's the emboldening of every nutbag, racist, and jesus jockey to come out of the wood work... cause he's their president...
