How They Deceive You

Laura Loomer's tweet is a classic hit piece that tricks you into thinking David Pascoe is a phony "Republican" hiding some dirty secret about going easy on violent criminals—total inversion of the facts to sabotage his GOP run. She slaps scare quotes around "Republican" and dangles "important details" he supposedly left out of his tough-on-crime post, plus broken links that lead nowhere (dead or paywalled), all to smear him as hypocritical and untransparent. But here's the manipulation exposed: there's zero evidence Pascoe ever supported releases or went soft. Instead, his record is packed with aggressive prosecutions—over 200 violent crime cases as assistant solicitor from 1993-2005, another 100+ as elected Solicitor since 2005, including death row sentences for murderers. He even publicly ripped the early release of Jeroid Price, a murderer he'd prosecuted himself, calling it a "sham" and "travesty of justice" in a 2023 WIS-TV interview. This isn't oversight; it's deliberate framing to flip his ironclad credentials into a weakness. Laura, the far-right provocateur and self-proclaimed Trump loyalty enforcer, loves targeting party-switchers like Pascoe (he went Republican in April 2025 after two decades as a Democrat with conservative crime views). She's got a track record of wild smears, like falsely claiming he secretly met Biden (debunked everywhere), and this fits her playbook of vague innuendo to enforce purity tests without proof. Don't get played—Pascoe's the real deal on locking up bad guys.
