Yahoo News reports:

The Republican-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court said Thursday that he had no problem with someone who was on the U.S. Capitol grounds during the insurrection campaigning for him across the state in the waning days of the high stakes race, calling his work “invaluable.” Conservatives have controlled the court for 15 years and came within one vote of overturning Biden’s win in the battleground state in 2020.

Dan Kelly on Wednesday posted a video on Twitter of himself standing side-by-side with conservative activist Scott Presler and thanking him for his work. Presler, a Virginia native, planned several “stop the steal” rallies in addition to being on the Capitol grounds the day of the insurrection. Presler also described the siege on the Capitol as “the largest civil rights protest in American history.” Kelly noted that Presler has more than 1 million followers on Twitter.

Kelly was appointed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2016 by then-Gov. Scott Walker but lost his bid for a full term in the 2020 election.

Presler was a main organizer for the extremist group ACT For America, which has held dozens of anti-Muslim rallies across the country. The SPLC describes ACT For America as “the largest grassroots anti-Muslim group in the country.”

He first appeared on JMG in 2017 when he was granted a “Gays For Trump” booth at Hampton Roads Pride.

Also in 2017, Presler was fired by the Trump campaign after he and Confederate flag fetishist Corey Stewart led a protest at the headquarters of the Virginia Republican Party.

In November 2020, Presler helped organize the “Million MAGA March” on Washington DC, which was attended by Proud Boys, white nationalists, militia members, and neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes.
