Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers slams GOP primary winner Tim Michels as 'most extreme and divisive nominee possible'
Fox News
Following Trump-backed Tim Michels' victory in Tuesday night's GOP gubernatorial primary, Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers slammed his opponent, calling him "extreme and divisive."
In a statement following Michels' projected primary victory, Evers' campaign said his upcoming Republican opponent is "the most extreme and divisive nominee possible" who will say anything to appease former President Donald Trump.
"After a scorched earth primary that’s seen constant attacks and a dizzying race to the radical right, the Republican Party has chosen the most extreme and divisive nominee possible, one that will tell Donald Trump anything just to keep his endorsement," the statement read. "From abortion and voting rights, to gun safety and public education — Tim Michels has staked out the most extreme positions possible, with the goal of dividing our state and pitting neighbors against one another."
