Asshats in NW WI urge conservatives to prepare for war [View all]


A local Republican group in northwestern Wisconsin refused to take down an online message urging conservatives to “prepare for war” despite urging from the state GOP and the violence last week at the U.S. Capitol.

The St. Croix 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. He did not say when it was posted and he didn’t immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press on Monday.

Tensions are high amid threats of more violence at statehouses nationwide this weekend. Gov. Tony Evers on Monday activated the Wisconsin National Guard Reaction Force to assist police at the state Capitol in Madison.

The governor’s office said in a statement that the force consists of troops trained to respond to requests for assistance on short notice and will serve a “site security mission.” The statement didn’t elaborate, saying to protect security officials it would not disclose the unit’s size, tactics or procedures

Meanwhile, down in Madison they are boarding up the Capitol proactively to help ensure minimal damage should all these FUCKHEADS decide to heed the call for war.
