2024 Wisconsin elections: Eric Hovde rips a page from the 2022 Ron Johnson campaign playbook

Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 8/15/2024

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde this week accused former President Barack Obama of using police shootings involving Black men to stoke "maximum anger" over race ahead of elections. 

“This all started with Obama,” Hovde said as he accused Democrats of trying to divide the country over race. “Obama ran on hope and change and bringing us together. And then he used race as a tool and a weapon, and he would find — six months before any election — some incident between the police and typically a young Black man, and then they would whip it up to create anger in the Black community.”
