Discipline for guardsman who criticized Evers?

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – The Latest on an Illinois congressman who criticized Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ decision to pull Wisconsin National Guard troops off the U.S. southern border (all times local):

2:10 p.m.

A spokeswoman for an Illinois congressman who doubles as a Wisconsin National Guard pilot says he shouldn’t face any discipline for criticizing Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers for withdrawing troops from the U.S. southern border because he was off duty when he made his remarks.

Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger criticized Evers on Twitter and on Fox News on Monday for an executive order pulling Wisconsin National Guard troops out of Arizona. Wisconsin statutes prohibit a commissioned officer from using “contemptuous words” against government officials, including the president and Wisconsin’s governor.

Guard officials and Evers’ office are looking into whether to discipline Kinzinger.

Kinzinger’s spokeswoman, Maura Gillespie, tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Kinzinger was exercising his freedom of speech rights off duty, just as he has done when he has criticized President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama.

11:30 a.m.

The Wisconsin National Guard and Gov. Tony Evers’ office are looking into whether an Illinois congressman who belongs to the Guard should face discipline for criticizing Evers’ decision to withdraw troops from the U.S. southern border.

Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger is a Wisconsin Air National Guard pilot. He ripped Evers on Twitter on Monday for ordering Wisconsin troops to pull out of Arizona, where they have been assisting the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol since June.

Evers is commander in chief of the Wisconsin National Guard. Asked if Kinzinger might be disciplined for criticizing his commanding officer, Guard spokesman Capt. Joe Travato said the Guard and Evers’ office are looking into the matter.

Kinzinger’s spokeswoman, Maura Gillespie, didn’t immediately respond to an email.
