The Tony Evers DNC video was…a Biden moment.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers badly bungled the state’s roll call at the DNC on Tuesday, asking, “Where are we” as he seemingly forgot Kamala Harris’s name.
Evers’ shambolic roll call went international. Daily Mail wrote that Evers “completely bungled” Wisconsin’s Democratic contingent’s nomination of Kamala Harris as “Jump Around” by House of Pain played, and people wore cheeseheads in the background (stealing the idea from the RNC’s Wisconsin delegation as coldly as Harris stole Trump’s no tax on tips plan.)
WATCH:
Is Tony Evers too old to be Governor?
Do I smell another Dem coup in the horizon, I’d watch your political back @Tony4WI

When he spoke, Evers somehow managed the perfect blend of a Kamala word salad with Biden’s senile stumbles.
So embarrassing
How do we end up with these frail communists

“I’m here because I’m jazzed as hell to announce that Wisconsin cast one vote present and 94 vote for, for… where are we?” Evers said. “Got me going here,” he said, continuing to ramble, “Former Wisconsinite, former state – oh my God.”
Is Evers ok

It's Wisconsin. It's after 8pm.
Bro is drunk

But that wasn’t all. “I’ll get there, Jason,” he said, referring to the DNC secretary. “94 votes for former Wisconsinite, Vice President and our next President of the United States of America, Kamala Hot… Harris.”

Have Biden and Evers ever been in the same room at the same time???

Ok, now the rest of the country knows our Governor is an embarrassing douche

After he was mocked mercilessly on social media, Evers wrote on X, “Holy mackerel – sometimes the jazz gets the best of ya, folks 🤷♂️”
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel kindly called it Evers’ “adventurous roll-call moment.”
According to the Journal Sentinel, Harris lived “on the west side of Madison between ages 3 and 5, before leaving in 1970.”
The social media reaction was brutal. Here are some of the reactions on X:
“DUDE WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH TONY EVERS. DID YALL SEE THAT.”
“Is Tony Evers too old to be Governor? Do I smell another Dem coup in the horizon, I’d watch your political back @Tony4WI.”
A parody X page named “Warren Spahn Email,” wrote, “I Gov. Warren Spahn am as confused as hell..I mean drunk as hell.” The site is a nod to Evers’ using the deceased baseball legend’s name as an email pseudonym (by the way, his office has STILL not released any of his emails.)
Was Gov. Evers actually drunk? We simply don’t know. Maybe not. But it was a popular theory online.

Others worried it could be a medical issue like a stroke.
I remarked the same to my substack chat followers – My guess is either overexcitement, over-inebriation, or a medical issue.
As someone whose brain has been prone to blanking in HUGE crowds (something I had to work on), I empathize if its the first.
