evidence: Evers, a longtime school administrator who’s prone to peppering his speech with "by golly" and "holy mackerel" — and who voters chose in part for his no-drama approach to politics — has been thrust into a cauldron of racial tension and violence. It’s an awkward fit for the subdued 68-year-old, and the reviews of his response to the turmoil in Kenosha — among other facets of his job performance — aren’t encouraging. Evers is drawing heat from some in his own party for not moving quickly enough to tamp down rioting in Kenosha. Like Walker before him, Evers is facing a nascent effort to recall him from office. He’s been steamrolled by Republicans who dominate the legislature and have repeatedly blocked his initiatives, including police reform. [...] He was accused of moving too slowly to deploy enough National Guard troops to quash unrest after the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Evers sent troops on the first night of the riots, declared a state of emergency and doubled the number of troops the second night. But it wasn’t enough to quell violence or destruction in the town. Two days after Blake’s shooting, protesters clashed with armed militia and three protesters were shot, two fatally, by 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who was charged with homicide.
