Rep. Ron Kind refuses to tell his district where he stands on impeachment
Rep. Ron Kind’s constituents demand that Democrats stop the impeachment madness and get back to work for
hardworking Wisconsinites
[Madison, WI] – Dozens of constituents gathered outside Rep. Ron Kind’s office on Monday to demand
that Democrats put an end to their impeachment madness and get back to work for the American people. Rep. Kind still hasn’t told his
constituents if he plans on siding with far-left Democrats to support the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Monday’s demonstration was part of a nationwide campaign demanding that Democrats “stop the
madness” and put an end to their baseless impeachment inquiry against President Trump. Democrats could be spending their time working hard for
the American people to secure the border and pass the USMCA, but they still can’t accept the results of the 2016 election so they continue their
personal vendetta against President Trump instead.

La Crosse Republicans demand Democrats drop Trump impeachment
inquiry

“The only thing the president has done wrong is winning an election he wasn’t
supposed to win,” said Brian Westrate, treasurer of the Republican Party of Wisconsin. Westrate’s words were met with applause from the
roughly 30 residents who crowded the intersection of Fifth and Jay streets, waving flags and holding signs in support of the president.
...
The rally was part of the national “Stop the
Madness” campaign, a response to calls that Trump be impeached over his request that Ukraine investigate former vice president and current
Democratic primary frontrunner Joe Biden.
“The president has been embattled from the day he
was elected,” said Bill Feehan, chairman of the La Crosse County Republican Party. “They started these endless investigations, like the
Russia collusion investigation, which went nowhere. Then they called on Mueller to testify, and they couldn’t find anything there. Now,
they’re starting this ridiculous investigation into his phone call with Ukraine.
“We’re here today to say that it’s time to stop the madness. It’s time for Democrats in Congress to get back to work for the
American people.”
…
Those who
attended Monday’s rally said Kind and other House Democrats should pay less attention to Trump’s dealings with Ukraine and more attention
to the economy and national security.
Feehan said Congress should pass the tabled United
States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, and begin working on a bill that would help fortify the southern border.
“Democrats have lectured us for 20 years about the importance of security on the Mexican border, and now, they refuse to support
the president’s efforts,” Feehan said. “These are issues that affect the people of Wisconsin. Kind talks about wanting to help
farmers in the 3rd District, well, a big way to do that would be to pass the USMCA.”

Trump allies noted how the historically blue Third District turned red in the 2016 presidential election, and they argued that Kind’s support
for the Ukraine investigation defies the will of area voters.
The only way Trump should be
removed from office, they said, is if someone beats him in 2020.
“Congressman Kind needs to
listen to his constituents,” Anthony Carver, 37, said. Of the 30 or so residents who attended the rally, Carver was the only one to agree to an
interview.
“(Kind) has no right to overturn the decision that we made in 2016, because I
think there’s a silent majority that supports Trump,” he said. “I want to be a part of that, and I want people to see that it
exists.”
As much as the rally was a celebration of Trump, it was also a rebuke of Kind.
…
[Feehan] said he is optimistic about
a Republican winning the Third District seat in 2020, something that has not happened in 25 years.
“To Ron Kind, I say that the road to re-election will not be nearly as easy this time,” Feehan said. “You will have an opponent,
and the people of the 3rd Congressional District will have a choice.”
