Wisconsin Democrats on Donald Trump Calling Milwaukee a “Horrible City”

MADISON, Wis. — In response to Donald Trump calling Milwaukee a “horrible city” in a closed-door meeting with House Republicans this morning, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Vice Chair Felesia Martin released the following statement:

“Donald Trump attacking the great city of Milwaukee as a ‘horrible city’ exactly one month before he shuffles out on stage at the Fiserv reflects the backward, twisted man Donald Trump has always been. With entertainment, recreation and a quality of life that is unparalleled—to say nothing of a great basketball team—I am blessed to call Milwaukee home. We’re used to Republican politicians like Donald Trump showing nothing but contempt for Milwaukee and the folks who live here: they know our power, and they’re afraid of the city we are building here, together. Once again, Trump has demonstrated why he should not be elected to the highest office in the land. He does not possess the discipline, respect, thoughtfulness, nor the maturity necessary to lead our country.”
