WAUSAU, Wis. (WRN) — Squabbling within the Republican Party of Wisconsin and its county parties must end.

That message to delegates at the state party convention in Wausau over the weekend from 3rd District Congressman Derrick Van Orden.

“Put aside your petty differences. Stop squabbling, squabbling amongst ourselves. Work together. And we will win again!” Van Orden said.

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson said inter party squabbling is the worst he’s seen since entering politics 15 years ago. He said he won’t pick sides in the disputes between MAGA Republicans and more moderate members of the party, but asked both sides to abide by the decisions of state party leadership.
