Donald J. Trump, elected president once while having lost the popular vote twice, made an appearance in Waukesha last night. He spoke for and about himself (of course!), touted Tim Michels, while deprecating Rebecca Kleefisch and Robin Vos. Shawn Johnson reports Donald Trump campaigns for Tim Michels, against Robin Vos at Waukesha rally:
Former President Donald Trump used a campaign stop in Waukesha to call Republican candidate for governor Tim Michels a “big-time” builder while attacking Michels’ Republican opponent Rebecca Kleefisch as the “hand-picked candidate of the failed establishment.”
Trump also suggested Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, — who has helped set the GOP agenda in Wisconsin for a decade — is a Democrat, urging people to vote for his primary opponent, Adam Steen. At one point in between, he even took a dig at Kleefisch’s husband.
It was the latest reminder that Trump remains fixated on politics in Wisconsin at all levels as he prepares for an all-but-certain run for president again in 2024.
….
Trump called Kleefisch a political insider.
“She’s the handpicked candidate of the failed establishment, the RINOs and the Washington swamp,” Trump said, referring to the acronym for Republicans In Name Only. “Kleefisch complains about lobbyists, but her husband is one of the biggest lobbyists in a place called Madison,” Trump said, referring to Joel Kleefisch, the former state representative-turned-lobbyist who currently represents nine clients, according to state records.
Trump also attacked Vos, who has repeatedly angered Trump over his refusal to try to decertify President Joe Biden’s victory in Wisconsin, a step election law experts say is legally impossible.
“Adam Steen is running to defeat your RINO speaker of the house, Robin Vos,” Trump said.
Trump on Michels and on Vos’s opponent, Adam Steen:
Hippo Crushes Watermelon Like It’s Nobody’s Business:
And…In other newz on the ungrateful circuit: Gableman endorsed Vos’ opponent, Adam Steen, demonstrating again that there is no honor among thieves.
As I have noted before…It sucks to be Robin.
No honor at all! — Gableman is the bad candy that goes on forever, an everlasting gobstopper of lunacy.
[…] Michels as a Trumpist: he received Trump’s endorsement, ran proudly on it, and is campaigning next month with disgraced money-waster Michael Gableman. […]
