GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich called on the Republican party to purge ‘Trumpist’ elements from their ranks in an article written in the online publication The Bulwark.
Calling the January 6th riot at the US Capitol a “right-wing insurrection” by a “Trumpist horde” inspired by a “demented and violent minority”, Genrich wrote that the GOP is a party “still in the grip of its fever dreams—in thrall to a defeated and disgraced president, and deeply delusional about reality.” He suggested that the GOP move to purge itself of Trump.
“I am not a conservative, but I am someone who, for the sake of our republic, would like to see a grand alliance of liberals and progressives with moderates and conservatives who all abhor authoritarian rule and mob tactics,” Genrich wrote.
Green Bay’s mayorship is a non-partisan office, however, Genrich served as a Democrat in the State Assembly for the 90th District, a position he held between 2013 and 2019.
