Wisconsin Attorney General Debate

I'd encourage you to read the Cap Times article from Jack Kelly where he put the full quote out there, where I never made that proposal. But when we talk about Waukesha and the parade massacre and Da Chisholm Chapter 17, I think 1711 allows the governor to suspend a district attorney or sheriff if they refuse or neglect to perform their duties and they have due process. We saw a DA that was appointed by Governor Evers in Washira county not show up to work. (17:58–18:08)

CLAIM

Asserts that Chapter 17, section 1711 allows the governor to suspend a district attorney or sheriff under certain conditions.
