NRCC welcomes Anthony Weiner aide, opera singer to WI-07 race

July 7, 2015

If you haven’t heard, national Democrats have recruited opera singer and management consultant Kirk Bangstad to run in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District.

In appreciation of his angelic voice, let’s take a second to enjoy Kirk singing “What You’d Call a Dream” (which could easily be describing his run for Congress): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIbop_3xXUE

Truly an inspiring performance, but, alas, we must get back to business.

Interestingly, Bangstad’s last political gig was writing talking points for disgraced New York politician Anthony “Carlos Danger” Weiner, which up until recently was proudly displayed on his LinkedIn profile.Weiner

Bangstad’s ties to Weiner makes us wonder: will the scandal plagued former Congressman be stumping for Bangstad throughout the 7th District? We sure hope so.

Welcome to the race, Kirk. We aren’t sure about national Democrats, but we couldn’t be happier to have an Anthony Weiner associated, opera singing, management consultant running in this Midwestern district.

“If former Anthony Weiner aide and opera singer Kirk Bangstad is the best Democrats can do, the fat lady has begun singing on their hopes of competing in the 7th District.” –NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
