In leaked audio, a top Trump adviser said the Republican party has ‘traditionally’ relied on voter suppression

Leaked audio reveals a top adviser to Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign said “traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places” during an event for Wisconsin Republicans.
The senior political adviser, Justin Clark, told the Associated Press that the remarks were referring to historic, false accusations that Republicans engage in voter suppression tactics.
But in the recording, obtained by a liberal group and provided to the AP, Clark followed up his statement by saying “Let’s start playing offense a little bit. That’s what you’re going to see in 2020.”
Clark made the comments alongside a discussion of what Trump’s re-election strategy in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania will look like – a “blue wall” of states the president won in 2016.
