The Ripon Rabbit
About this show
What does it actually mean to be a Republican?
Not the campaign slogan.
Not the party label.
Not the bumper sticker.
Tonight, AJ the Ripon Rabbit takes a deep dive into the roots of the Republican Party — where it came from, why it was born, and what history every voter, candidate, caller, activist, and elected official should know before claiming the name.
From the Kansas-Nebraska Act to the Little White Schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin… from the fight over slavery’s expansion to Abraham Lincoln and the preservation of the Union… this is the history that built a movement.
Because if you don’t know where you came from, how can you know where you’re going?
This is not a show about party worship.
It’s a show about principle, responsibility, memory, and whether the modern Republican Party still understands the roots it came from.
