Trump is in town. One of the people doing a speech said “One of the last times President Trump was in this area he was with me in Kenosha, and we saw firsthand what happened when democratic policies are put forward: Failure to stand with the men and women of law enforcement.”
He’s talking about Kyle Rittenhouse shooting a bunch of people that were protesting a police shooting.
Then if I’m reading this right, Trump managed to contradict himself in a pre-recorded video.
A video of Trump played on large TVs for a second time around 1:00 p.m. In the video, Trump said he would “once and for all secure our elections. We are going to go to paper ballots, we’re going to have same-day voting, voter ID,” Trump said.
Trump then said Republicans must use “every appropriate tool” to beat Democrats. “Whether you vote early, absentee by mail, or in-person, we are going to protect the vote.”
The Wisconsin GOP leader, commenting on an unresolved RNC issue is already planting the seed that if things go sideways, it’s because the left benefits from it:
“It’s important for us, and it’s important, frankly, for the City of Milwaukee and for the region to have a smooth-running convention,” Schimming said. “Nobody benefits by having a mess, except the hardcore left.”
The issue at hand is where the protestors will be allowed to protest from during the RNC. For obvious reasons, the left wants to be as close as possible and the right wants them as far away as possible and then this has to be reconciled with with 1A.
At one point during Trump’s Manhattan trial, Trump was claiming, without evidence, that the MAGA demonstrators were being kept away from the courthouse and they should be allowed to get closer, while at the same time the RNC is working to keep protestors away.
