 STATEMENT ON MIKE GALLAGHER QUITTING CONGRESS:

@RepGallagher was considered by many as a rising star in the GOP. But instead of embracing the MAGA movement, he decided to betray the grassroots and protect the swamp.

Mike is now quitting congress because he knows he would face an embarrassing defeat in the upcoming primary.

His vote to protect Alejandro Mayorkas was a foolish, career ending mistake.

He claims that he voted against the Mayorkas impeachment out of principle, but that’s just not the truth.

As reported by the Heritage Foundation’s @MHowellTweets, Gallagher was potentially involved in a horse trading agreement with Sec. Mayorkas. Otherwise know as Quid pro quo.

As we find out more information on this serious allegation, I wouldn’t be shocked if Gallagher found himself under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. He deserves due process, but it sure looks bad!

But for the reporters, members of Congress, and grassroots patriots across Wisconsin, who are reaching out to me asking if I will run… let’s just say I am now taking a VERY STRONG LOOK.

I look forward to my upcoming meetings with the County GOP Chairs in WI 8th Congressional District and we might just have to throw a MAGA rally later this month in the Fox Valley.

The people of #WI8 deserve a fighter who will help secure the southern border and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Good riddance to Mike Gallagher and God bless Wisconsin AND America.
