This is kind of interesting. Former reporter, now pizza cook/candidate press agent Austin Goss had been attached to the Jon Hansen for Governor campaign.
But right after Tuesday, he got on the facebooks and started messaging Belle Fourche conservative commentator Katie Hoffman.
And if we’re to believe the messages that Katie posted, Goss supposedly asked Katie directly to “Tone down the anti-Toby Messaging for the time being.”
And within the two days since – in an act of dog-like supplication the one-time Dakota News Now and Dakota Scout reporter Goss has rolled over on his back. Supposedly because Toby offered to fly his dog to Colorado for vet treatment, and Austin thinks the legislature is now just a bunch of liberals, and South Dakota will succumb to “the economic development machine.”:
Well, at least Austin now has accolades from outgoing legislator Brandei Schaefbauer, and the eternally awful Phil Jensen.
Toby is already shilling out negative ads left and right and he wants the owner of a small Facebook group to “tone down the rhetoric”? What a goober.
“Austin Goes With The Wind Goss”
No surprise here, with the complete blowout of the Freedumbers and Hansen’s dead last finish, the last hope for a meal ticket for these shills is Toby. Larry needs to channel a little Bill Janklow after he wins: consolidate power, bring in his own team and punish those that don’t fall in line.
