Top Trump adviser: Republicans have 'always' relied on voter suppression
‘Traditionally, it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes’
Adviser Justin Clark says remarks were taken out of context
One of Donald Trump’s top re-election advisers told influential Republicans in swing state Wisconsin that the party has “traditionally” relied on voter suppression to compete in battleground states, according to an audio recording of a private event.
The adviser said later that his remarks referred to frequent and false accusations that Republicans employ such tactics.But the report emerged just days after news that a conservative group is forcing Wisconsin to purge upwards of 230,000 people from state voter
rolls more than a year earlier than planned, a move that would disproportionately affect Democrats before the 2020 election.“Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places,” Clark said at the event. “
Let’s start protecting our voters. We know where they are. ... 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.”
Asked about the remarks, by the Associated Press, which obtained the audio recording, Clark said he was referring to false accusations that the Republican party engages in voter suppression.
