U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, also said he won’t attend the Trump event Friday.

GOP Rep. John Nygren, from nearby Marinette, said he won’t be at the rally either because of a trip he’s taking with his son to watch former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre be inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. A large number of them – 36 percent according to a 2014 University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh survey – are independent.
“I’m surprised that a major political party would elect or choose someone who is not believing in the Constitution and the values that have been set by the founding fathers”, says Tamer Dawud of the Islamic Society of Wisconsin-Green Bay. “We know that he will do well, he will win Brown County”. Trump lost that primary election to Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Candidates representing both political parties are coming to the state.

Ribble isn’t the only Republican office-holder who won’t be with Trump.

Johnson, who’s seeking re-election against former Democratic U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, did have something to say about Trump’s war of words with the family of a fallen Muslim-American soldier.
