Robin Vos is not the kind of politician you’d want to get a beer with. He’s not particularly warm and has the charisma of a small-town school-board member. But he’s the kind of politician who would want to get a beer with you — not as part of some corny, man-of-the-people shtick, but just because he enjoys a good beer. And he’d rather drink beer than have it dumped on him, as a left-wing protester did in 2011 during the protests against Republicans over Scott Walker’s public-sector-union reforms.
Vos is a Wisconsin guy, born and raised, and has been speaker of the assembly, the lower house of Wisconsin’s legislature, since 2013. He was subpoenaed by the January 6 committee over phone calls he had with Donald Trump in the aftermath of the 2020 election. His interview with the committee, published yesterday, shows he isn’t the villain some make him out to be.
