State Rep. Timothy Ramthun entered the race for governor Saturday, ensuring 2022 will be all about 2020.
The Campbellsport Republican brought election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell to a high school auditorium in Kewaskum to make his pitch to voters, an argument that relies on the impossible and illegal endeavor of revoking Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes for President Joe Biden.
“He will be the best governor Wisconsin ever had,” Lindell said from a lectern festooned with the green, yellow and white logo of Kewaskum High School, where Ramthun played basketball about four decades ago.
Lindell was the keynote speaker at a rally scheduled to last three hours that brought supporters from all over Wisconsin to fill a school auditorium, and then some.
The crowd clapped and hollered as Lindell detailed how former President Donald Trump’s election loss that has been confirmed by judges, audits, reviews and studies should have been overturned but was thwarted by establishment Republicans and conservatives.
