Senior Trump adviser Justin Clark told a group of Wisconsin Republicans that the Republican party had 'traditionally' engaged in the suppression of voters.
Justin Clark, senior political adviser to President Donald Trump, told Republicans in Wisconsin that the Republican party has engaged in voter suppression during elections, according to a recording obtained by the Associated Press. Clark says he was taken out of context, and was referring to false accusations lobbed at the party.
"Technically, it's always been Republicans suppressing votes in places," Clark said during a discussion at a Movember meeting of the Republican National Lawyer's Association in Wisconsin. Clark's comments were captured on audio tape. "Let's start protecting our voters. We know where they are," Clark said."Let's start playing offense a little bit. That's what you're going to see in 2020. It's going to be a much bigger program, a much more aggressive program, a much better-funded program."
