Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl fired up the crowd at the 5th Congressional District ALGOP meeting this week, laying out his vision for the party's future and tackling media bias head-on. Wahl directly addressed a recent AL.com column questioning whether he even possessed an Alabama driver's license. The article became a talking point at the meeting, with attendees decrying it as "another example of biased media" targeting conservative leaders. "These hit pieces are absolute rubbish," Wahl declared, calling out the writer as an "extremely liberal writer" pushing an agenda. Responding to a playful question, Wahl dramatically produced his Alabama driver's license, earning laughter and applause from the room. Wahl emphasized the importance of unwavering commitment to conservative values, regardless of criticism. He slammed "liberal reporters" for disliking the Republican Party's support for Donald Trump and his stance on protecting children in libraries. "They hate me because they know I won't back down and I won't surrender!" he exclaimed. The chairman reiterated his dedication to combating "wokeness" in public institutions, especially schools and libraries. Joking about his appointment to the state library board, Wahl praised the Alabama Public Library Service's new definition of sexually explicit content. He vowed to remove inappropriate material from children's sections, emphasizing the need to "put parents back in control." Wahl concluded by thanking local party members and urging them to continue fighting for conservative values. "If we are going to save this country, it's going to take freedom fighters like you," he stated. "Thank you for being part of the Alabama GOP and standing for Alabama values."Wahl Rallies Republicans in Madison
