Speaker Robin Vos is feeling good about the state of the Assembly Republican caucus — mostly.

“Look, we have one bad actor in our caucus. One out of 64 is pretty damn good. We have some others who don't quite get the whole program, but they're moving along. And I think we have the vast majority of people who are united and know that we're in the right place, we're fighting for the right cause, and we're working as hard as we can,” Vos said. “So I choose to focus on the positive, and that is the fact that we have great people.”

But he didn’t mince words about that “one bad actor.”

The Rochester Republican recently stripped Rep. Janel Brandtjen, R-Menomonee Falls, of her post leading the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections after she spent her time in the position promoting election deniers and supporting an illegal effort to decertify the 2020 presidential election. She also joined former President Donald Trump in actively supporting Vos’ primary opponent, election denier Adam Steen.

Now Brandtjen is one of several Republicans (and one Democrat) running for a Senate seat in the 8th District, vacated by the retirement of Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills.

Asked during a recent interview if he believes Brandtjen is fit to serve in that office, Vos gave a firm response: “I don’t. I would never vote for Janel Brandtjen.”

It’s not just the speaker who has a problem with the representative, though. Last month, Assembly Republicans voted to bar Brandtjen from their closed caucus meetings............................
