* Our old pal Mark Maxwell of KSDK interviewed possible gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey. This part stood out to both Isabel and myself…
Maxwell: You famously criticized mask mandates during the pandemic. But now, every American who scrolls through their social media feed sees viral videos of unidentified federal agents, many of them wearing masks, not for virus reasons, but to conceal their identity. They’re seizing people off of streets, taking them away in unmarked vehicles. Do those images bother you?
Bailey: Yeah, I think that’s concerning. I think there needs to be a lot more transparency. I also understand in certain aspects of law enforcement where identities need to be protected. I get that, but as a whole, you know, with police officers, for whatever reason. I don’t see that where I’m at. I see that on I see that, you know, on social media. So I don’t know to what extent that is…
Maxwell: …building trust in the community, in St. Louis for instance…
Bailey: As governor of Illinois, there would be no one wearing masks.
Maxwell: You wouldn’t allow that.
Bailey: I do not see the point of that.
At least he’s consistent on this.

I would challenge Mr. Bailey to come up with the name of just one person who didn’t vote for him in 2022 who will say on the record that they’ll vote for him in 2026.

Well kids, no more trick or treating if Beetle becomes Governor.
