Wisconsin top Republicans largely silent on President Trump's comments

MADISON — Wisconsin's top Republicans have been largely silent on President Donald Trump's defiant blaming of "both sides" for the weekend violence between white supremacists and counter-demonstrators in Virginia.

But at least one Democrat is calling for President Trump to be removed from office.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore said Tuesday that Republicans and Democrats should unite and remove President Trump from office. Her comments came shortly after PresidentTrump voiced support for those in Virginia seeking to maintain the monument to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that .

President Trump ally Republican Gov. Scott Walker hasn't commented directly on President Trump's remarks. Walker's only comment came Saturday tweeting that "we should all condemn the violence and hate" at the protest.

House Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted that "white supremacy is repulsive" but did not specifically address Trump.
