When do we put aside our obsession to win in order to speak the truth? How do we listen to one another?
We encourage you to watch our LOPPW interview with outgoing WI Senator Kathy Bernier, who was critical of her Republican Party’s support of the Gableman investigation. In our interview, she was primarily critical of the Democratic and called for civil discourse. We also encourage you to watch the excellent PBS interview with outgoing AZ Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who was critical of the false claim that the 2020 election results were false and has been a leader in the January 6th investigations.
