A panel of white hosts and pundits on Fox News asserted that Donald Trumps Tuesday speech to a nearly all-white audience in Wisconsin showed that the Republican presidential nominee did not take the black vote for granted like they said Democrats had done for years. On Tuesday, Trump traveled to West Bend, Wisconsin which is 95 percent white to ask for the vote for every African-American citizen struggling in our society today who wants a different and much better future.
Trump campaign adviser Rudy Giuliani joined three white Fox News hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday to praise Trumps African-American outreach.
Consider how dangerous that was, Giuliani opined. Going into Milwaukee in the middle of the riots and talking about law and order. But also talking about what needs to be done to help minority communities, African-American communities, poor communities to come out of the situation that theyre in. No one has offered answers like that together.
This is the first time I can remember him talking about minorities except on the defensive, Kilmeade agreed. Here he is on the offensive, saying, I am not ignoring you.'

(115,706 posts)"Going to Milwaukee in the middle of the riots and talking about law and order" was "dangerous"? I lived in West Bend for a few years when I was a kid and I still have a couple of relatives there. I know where it is and what it's like. It's not even a suburb of Milwaukee - it's about 40 miles north and is a pleasant little town full of (mostly conservative) white people. He wasn't anywhere near Milwaukee or any danger from - you know - those people.

(15,696 posts)She went on to claim that with TV and the internet, he was talking to black people all over the country, and not just the white people in the town 30 mikes from Milwaukee. Fortunately, the young black woman on the panel schooled her expertly and shut her up. ATS (as Trump says), "Bigly."
