Wisconsin Democrats on Donald Trump’s Remarks to the RNC
MADISON, Wis. — In response to Donald Trump’s remarks officially accepting the Republican nomination for President, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler issued the following statement:
“Tonight, Donald Trump fully broke his promise of ‘unity’ in prime time, doubling down on an extreme agenda that would roll back core freedoms, attack our middle class, and enrich the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyone else. In his single, failed term as President, Donald Trump disgraced our nation—appointing Supreme Court justices hand-picked to shred Roe vs. Wade and undermine unions, doling out tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy while leaving working families behind, and refusing to respect the peaceful transfer of power and inciting an attack on the U.S. Capitol. Given another four years in office, Trump and Vance would take their disastrous agenda even further, with an extreme Project 2025 plan to roll back freedoms, make everything more expensive, and undercut democracy itself. With Trump’s coronation on stage in Milwaukee tonight, the Republican Party is now fully committed to an anti-freedom, pro-dictatorship agenda—a promise Wisconsinites will reject in full this November.”
