The story leads with Milwaukee but the Ohio pastor being cited was actually in Ohio, specifically Williams County. The DA there is, in fact, a Republican. Though not necessarily a "RepubliQan" as stated. Katherine J.

I didn’t catch the jump and, honestly it’s a little weird. Still, my bad. Thank you all for pointing it out. permalink fedilink source parent
