New Fashioned Conservatives
Ep. 26 - The Wisconsin Groomer Coverup Goes Public | 10/27/25
In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys kick off with fresh candidate announcements: Republican State Treasurer John Leiber, elected in 2022 with a razor-thin margin, launched his 2026 reelection bid. Will Martin, who snagged third place in the 2022 GOP Lt. Gov. primary, jumps back in for another shot at the office. The episode's heavyweight is the explosive Cap Times investigation exposing Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) under State Superintendent Jill Underly for probing over 200 educators on sexual misconduct and grooming allegations from 2018-2023—ranging from soliciting nudes from minors to post-graduation assaults—yet shielding details from the public via voluntary license surrenders, outdated Google Sheets tracking, and just two understaffed investigators, with districts stonewalling open records requests to bury the mess. Underly skipped a key Assembly hearing on October 23, drawing bipartisan fire and calls for her resignation from GOP figures like Josh Schoemann. Other headlines include the tragic hit-and-run in Lisbon where an illegal alien, struck two kids on a minibike on, leaving an 11-year-old boy critical and an 8-year-old girl recovering. For “Candy Stories,” the hosts chuckle over Oscar-winner Halle Berry's virtual testimony before the Senate Health Committee, pushing bipartisan bills for menopause education after her own misdiagnoses at 54, and a Milwaukee drug dealer hilariously admitting on WISN 12 News that he's "small potatoes" slinging weed during a live bust interview, turning interrogation into a free ad.
