REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION,
LAST WEEK THE PRESIDENT TRIED TO
STEAL THE THUNDER OF THE DNC BY
COMING TO WISCONSIN.
BUT SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER
ZAC SCHULTZ TELLS US WISCONSIN
PLAYED A VERY LIMITED ROLE THIS
WEEK.
>> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR
JOINING US.
WE SURE WISH YOU WERE HERE WITH
US IN CHARLOTTE.
>> LIKE THE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION THE WEEK BEFORE, THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
WAS MOSTLY VIRTUAL, WITH THE
SPEECHES PRETAPED OR PRESENTED
LIVE FROM EVERYWHERE BUT THE
HOST CITY OF CHARLOTTE.
>> WE HAD A NUMBER OF TRAINING
SESSIONS.
>> HOWEVER, SOME DELEGATES, LIKE
WISCONSIN GOP CHAIRMAN ANDREW
HITT, DID ATTEND IN PERSON FOR
THE PURPOSE OF OFFICIALLY
NOMINATING DONALD TRUMP FOR
PRESIDENT.
FORMER WISCONSIN GOVERNOR SCOTT
WALKER READ THE NOMINATION FOR
MIKE PENCE AS VICE PRESIDENT.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, IT IS MY HONOR
TO NOMINATE OUR FRIEND, MICHAEL
R. PENCE, TO SERVE AS THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY'S 2020
CANDIDATE FOR VICE VICE PRESIDENT OF
THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
>> SCOTT WALKER WAS THE ONLY
WISCONSIN POLITICIAN WITH A ROLE
AT THE RNC.
HOWEVER, TWO WISCONSINITES DID
GIVE BRIEF SPEECHES ON TUESDAY.
>> MY NAME IS CHRIS PETERSON.
MY HUSBAND GARY, OUR FAMILY AND
I MILK 1,000 COWS ON A DEAFER
FARM --
DAIRY FARM IN GRANTSBURG.
>> I OWN SCHUETTE METALS.
>> THERE WAS NO MENTION OF
KENOSHA POLICE SHOOTING JACOB
BLAKE IN THE BACK SEVEN TIMES OR
OF THE WHITE VIGILANTE ARRESTED
ON CHARGES OF FIRST DEGREE
INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE AFTER HE
DROVE FROM ILLINOIS WITH A GUN
AND KILLED TWO PEOPLE AND
INJURED A THIRD.
BUT PENCE DID CONDEMN THE
PROTESTORS.
>> SO LET ME BE CLEAR.
THE VIOLENCE MUST STOP, WHETHER
IN MINNEAPOLIS, PORTLAND OR
KENOSHA.
>> REPORTING FROM MADISON, I'M
ZAC SCHULTZ FOR "HERE AND NOW."
>> AS WE'VE SAID, FORMER
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SCOTT WALKER
