Wisconsin | June 29, 2021
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has urged Republicans to “take back our culture” by running for positions in local office to make “trickle-up” change.
The senator, a vigorous defender of former president Donald Trump, made the remarks on Saturday in a speech at Wisconsin’s state GOP convention on Saturday,The Capital Times reported.
“I don’t want to make this speech about me, I just want to talk about what’s happening to our culture,” Mr Johnson said.
Mr Johnson called on Republicans to run candidates at every level of public office instead of focusing on federal elections.
“Take back our school boards, our county boards, our city councils. We will take back our culture. We don’t have to fear this anymore,” he said.
The senator went on to hit out at Democrats for wanting to “fundamentally transform” the US with social change.
