Wisconsin GOP Wrestles With Just How Much to Indulge TFG

Wisconsin Republicans were already going to great lengths to challenge the 2020 election results. They ordered a monthslong government audit of votes in the state. They made a pilgrimage to Arizona to observe the GOP review of votes there. They hired former police officers to investigate Wisconsin’s election and its results.

But for Donald Trump, it wasn’t enough.

In a blistering statement last week on the eve of the state party’s convention, the former president accused top Republican state lawmakers of “working hard to cover up election corruption” and “actively trying to prevent a Forensic Audit of the election results.”

Wisconsin Republicans were alarmed and confused. Some circulated a resolution at the convention calling for the resignation of the top Republican in the state Assembly, Speaker Robin Vos, who in turn announced the appointment of a hard-line conservative former state Supreme Court justice to oversee the investigation. The Republican state Senate president released a two-page letter addressed to Trump that said his claims about Republicans were false — but that made sure to clarify in fawning language the state party’s allegiance to the former president.

That includes the WI congresscritters and senators who voted against certifying the election.

And Robin Vos, the most corrupt GOP state politician here in WI.
