WISCONSIN GOV. TONY EVERS TELLS TRUMP NOT TO VISIT KENOSHA
Evers, a Democrat, made Trump’s request Sunday and said the president “will only lift our paintings to succeed over the division” through his appearance in Kenosha. Trump’s crusade has highlighted riots in several major cities in recent months as an explanation for why to vote for him to repair “law and order.”
“If I didn’t insist that the National Guard activate and participate in Kenosha, Wisconsin, there wouldn’t be Kenosha right now,” Trump tweeted Monday. “In addition, there would have been many dead and wounded. I need to thank the police and the National Guard. See you on Tuesday!”
The president also condemned Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, with whom he has an ongoing conflict over the mayor’s objections to federal involvement in stopping riots in the city despite months of unrest and a fatal shooting over the weekend.
“Portland has been a disaster for many years. If this mayor’s joke doesn’t erase it, we’ll do it for them!” Trump said.

Wheeler sent a letter to Trump last week criticizing the president for participating in “a cynic to stoke concern and distract us from genuine paintings of our city” by proposing to send federal police to the city.
“On behalf of the city of Portland: no, thank you, ” said Wheeler. “We don’t want your department policy and demagoguery. The inhabitants of Portland are with you.”
Wheeler added: “There is no room for looting, arson or vandalism in our city. There is no place for racist violence or those who wish to introduce their hateful ideology into our community here. Those engaged in criminal acts shall be arrested and prosecuted. under the law. “

However, Portland has not kept the peace on its streets for months, and Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced earlier this month that his workplace would “refuse” to prosecute many riot-related crimes, adding that it would interfere with a peaceful workplace. – Disorderly degree conduct, intrusion of criminals at first and for all in the “third-degree escape”Array degree, harassment and “riots”.
The unrest spread as Trump is president, anything Democrats rushed to point out, yet it happened in much of the Democrat-led cities where mayors and governors have hampered efforts to send federal law enforcement to take a handful. Disturbances. In the past, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden rarely condemned violence, making several statements calling for peace, but without highlighting it as much as Trump. But last week, Biden was more forceful in his conviction.
He said over the weekend: “The fatal violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable.Shooting on the streets of a major American city is unacceptable.I unequivocally condemn this violence. I condemn violence of all kinds in the component of anyone, whether left or right.And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same.It doesn’t matter if you consider the political criticism of its parties to the conflict to be abhorrent, any loss of life is a tragedy.”
In addition to the weekend shooting of an obvious Trump supporter, there was a fatal shooting last week in Kenosha, allegedly through a 17-year-old police officer, of protesters opposed to police brutality. -defense.
This, along with the August 23 shooting against Jacob Blake, allegedly through Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey, who sparked riots in Kenosha, will serve as a dark backdrop for the Trump dispute in the small town of Wisconsin.

But White House spokesman Judd Deere said the president’s goal would be to heal.
“The White House has moved through the awareness of kenosha, others who welcomed the president and aspire to leadership in supporting local law enforcement and companies that have been vandalized,” Deere wrote in reaction to Evers’ letter calling for Trump to stay. one-handed. “President Trump is waiting for Tuesday and will help this wonderful city heal and rebuild.”
Trump concluded Monday on Twitter: “LAW & ORDER!”
