The website for the St. Croix Republican Party in Wisconsin is telling its members, “If you want peace, prepare for war.”
In the call to action, the St. Croix Republican Party accuses the “Marxist Left” and “complicit mass media” of using any means necessary to overturn the 2016 election, won by President Donald Trump.
The statement encourages “Patriots” to join the “digital battlefield” and tells them to continue fighting for the Republican Part it claims President Trump radically changed during the 2016 election.
St. Croix County Supervisor Catherine Leaf told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the message goes too far.
"It's a bridge too far," said St. Croix County Supervisor Catherine Leaf, a frequent target of local conservatives. "These are philosophical and political differences. This is not war, and to invoke those words is wrong."
Despite requests from the state GOP to take down the post, the Milwaukee Sentinel Journal reports St. Croix County Republican Party chairman, John Kraft, refuses to do so.
Per the AP, the county party’s chairman, John Kraft says the message went up before pro-Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol and he can’t help what inferences democrats draw from it.
