David Crowley Had Some Bizarre Posts on COVID Safety
Progressive policy ambitions meet practical realities as Americans weigh costs and consequences.
Look, the elected executive of Milwaukee County once thought it was a good idea to post a picture of a “COVID safety box” — a crudely Photoshopped cube meant to show how to stay safe indoors during the pandemic. That wasn't a joke. It was his actual advice to constituents during a public health emergency.

In some ways, it's hard to believe it's already been six years since the COVID pandemic upended life in America. But it's not hard to believe that Democrats would still be enforcing COVID restrictions if they felt they could get away with it.
Just the other day, AOC admitted she tested positive for COVID, which means they're still testing for the disease.

Look, the elected executive of Milwaukee County once thought it was a good idea to post a picture of a “COVID safety box” — a crudely Photoshopped cube meant to show how to stay safe indoors during the pandemic. That wasn't a joke. It was his actual advice to constituents during a public health emergency. David Crowley now claims his social media was managed by staff, which is a convenient excuse, but it doesn't wash. If the policy ideas coming from his office looked like that, someone should have been fired on the spot, not given a promotion to county leadership.
The bigger point is that this is what six years of Democratic governance on COVID produced: performative nonsense. While the rest of the country figured out how to live with the virus, the left kept inventing new layers of theater. The cube is the perfect metaphor for the left's entire pandemic response — all sharp angles, no function. And they'd still be doing it today if they thought anyone would listen. Just look at AOC, who recently made headlines for a positive COVID test. She was testing in 2025, not because it was medically necessary, but because the ritual is comforting to people who built their whole worldview around the lockdowns.
The pandemic ended for normal people years ago. The economy reopened, schools filled back up, and life moved on. But for a certain type of Democrat, the panic was less about public health and more about control. Crowley is just the silly, viral version of a serious problem. We should laugh at the absurdity, but we should also remember what they tried to do. If Trump hadn't pushed for vaccines and reopening, they'd have kept us in boxes — literal or digital — for as long as they could.
