MADISON, WI (AP)-- A local Republican group in northwestern Wisconsin is refusing to take down an online message urging conservatives to “prepare for war.”
The St. Croix County Republican Party's website includes a message that reads “if you want peace, prepare for war." The message goes on to say that President Donald Trump changed the Republican Party and patriots need to continue the fight to be counted as conservative warriors.
The state Republican Party has asked the county group to take the message down, but the group has refused. The county party's chairman, John Kraft, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the message went up before right-wing extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and he can't help what inferences Democrats draw from it.
