November 28, 2021 | Wisconsin
Wisconsin Sens. Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin issued a joint statement asking outside groups not to politicize the parade attack in Waukesha.
The Republican and Democrat encouraged people to allow the community to heal and leave local officials to complete their investigation into the attack that killed six people, including an 8-year-old boy.
“It has come to our attention that outside individuals or groups may attempt to exploit the tragedy that occurred last Sunday in Waukesha for their own political purposes,” the statement read. “As the U.S. Senators representing Wisconsin, one from each political party, we are asking anyone considering such action to cease and desist.”
The statement comes less than a week after an SUV sped into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, about a half-hour outside of Milwaukee, last Sunday…. (Excerpts from the Washington Times)
