Wisconsin GOP leader calls the Trump supporters trying to oust him ‘whack jobs and morons’
Associated PressMADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s top Republican derided supporters of former President Donald Trump who are trying to recall him from office as “whack jobs and morons,” predicting Tuesday that their effort would fail and they would be subject to fraud charges. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is being targeted for recall because he refused to impeach the state’s top elections official or proceed with attempting to decertify President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in Wisconsin. It’s not clear what legislative district boundary lines should be used for determining what signatures are valid, how many are needed and where any recall election would take place. The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission, to address that uncertainty, last week asked the state Supreme Court to decide which maps should be used for any recall or special election that’s held before November.
