Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Friday said if he could go back in time, he would not have hired former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman to review the 2020 election and said Gableman became a "rogue agent."
"Sometimes, elected officials have to look the taxpayers in the eye and say I screwed up, and that is why I should have never hired Michael Gableman," Vos said during a Milwaukee Press Club appearance Friday at which he added he still felt a review of the 2020 election was needed.
Vos fired Gableman in August, more than a year after he hired him to probe the 2020 election and three days after Vos barely survived a primary challenge Gableman supported.
The review cost state taxpayers more than $1 million in salaries and legal fees related to lawsuits filed against Gableman and Vos over ignored requests for public records. [emphasis added]
