Wisconsin Young Republicans Back McCarthy Rebuke Wiley

A floor resolution praised McCarthy for weeding out atheistic Communism, while a Sunday motion to commend Wiley for the St Lawrence Seaway bill drew firm disapproval due to his stance on the Bricker Amendment. The group split on Wiley amid partisan tensions within the GOP.
