Democrat radicalism has reached the point that even Kyrsten Sinema is too moderate to be a viable candidate for reelection. To be a Democrat Senator is to be a leftist kook. Yet otherwise reasonable Montana might reelect Jon Tester:

Tester’s public schedule reveals a private meeting with Tiffany Rose and Jamie Goguen on Sept. 19, between two Senate floor sessions.

Rose identifies as a pole dance instructor. But she does have political relevance:

Rose, in a statement to the Washington Free Beacon, said she is a “new member/volunteer on the Leadership Council for Reproductive Freedom for All.”

“Reproductive freedom” is Liberalese for “abortion.”

The Leadership Council for Reproductive Freedom for All describes itself as “the nation’s only cross-state network for state legislators who support reproductive health, rights, and justice.” The organization’s political arm endorsed Tester in December 2023 and said the senator “remains committed to locking the right to abortion into federal law.”

Such legislation would likely be very bad news for viable 9-month babies deemed to be inconvenient and even for babies who survive botched abortions.

The evident purpose of the meeting was to assure pro-abortion radicals of Tester’s support.

His Republican opponent, businessman Tim Sheehy, has led in a string of recent polls with a message that Tester is “too liberal for Montana.”

You think? Yet Democrats have settled on the strategy of turning all the dials all the way left. Any rhetoric to the contrary is too patently insincere to pass the laugh test.
