Local WI GOP imports an election denier: protesters say there’s already homegrown talent


Wisconsinites aren’t liking his record, and he knows it. That’s what protesters are saying about US Rep. Tom Tiffany and his recent switch-up on multiple issues. After months of defending and voting to continue the Iran war that’s driving fuel prices up, Tiffany now says it’s time to “wind things down” in Iran. He said something similar in May, but then voted to continue the war. He also just shifted his public stance on the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, acknowledging that Joe Biden won. Meanwhile, US Rep. Derrick Van Orden recently attended an event put on by the Republican Party of Eau Claire County, where the party hosted a widely characterized election denier, Scott Presler. Presler was present at the US Capitol on Jan. 6, like Van Orden. After the event, Van Orden shared Presler’s post, adding, “It was so great to see you my friend.” ✏️/🎥: Salina Heller
