Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) had a damning response to Donald Trumps reported insulting of Milwaukee as a horrible city just weeks before the Republican National Convention begins there on July 15. Moore, whose congressional district includes a large swathe of the city, told MSNBCs Lawrence ODonnell that the presumptive GOP presidential nominees comment was pure projection.
Trump himself is a horrible person, she said. Its not just these 34 felony counts, but hes a sexual assaulter and there are 54 more counts against him for really trying to undermine our elections and [
] inspire an insurrection, Moore added. So, hes a horrible person. Some Trump apologists have suggested he was referring to the citys crime rate with his slur, despite a recent sharp decrease in homicides.
Moore responded to that spin: I dont know many people in Milwaukee who have 34 felony counts against them. So our crime rate sure is going to go up when he joins us in Milwaukee.
There you go. Thats right, agreed ODonnell. They had to find a city where Donald Trump wasnt facing indictments so Milwaukee was on the list, he jokingly added.

Especially now that his daughter-in-law is in charge of the RNC. Get that RNC money first.
