The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: He was referring to their crimes rates evidently, by Fake News Gonna Fake News.

As usual, you're misinformed.

Republicans who were in the room at the time scrambled to undo his bizarre comment, offering several different explanations:

U.S. Reps. Glenn Grothman of the 6th Congressional District, Scott Fitzgerald of the 5th Congressional District and Tom Tiffany of the 7th Congressional District all told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Trump made the comments when speaking about the upcoming election.

Grothman said Trump “was concerned about the election in Milwaukee” and said he thought Trump “felt we need to do better in urban centers around the country.” He suggested Trump had concerns that Republicans “didn’t do very well in Milwaukee.”

U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden said Dementia Don was "specifically referring to the CRIME RATE in Milwaukee."

Republican U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, who represents the state's 1st Congressional District, said Trump never mentioned anything about Milwaukee but later changed his story, saying Dementia Don "was talking about specific issues in" Milwaukee."

A convention spokeswoman told a reporter from CBS58 Dementia Don was referring to an ongoing debate over where protests should be allowed to occur in the city during the July convention.

The simple fact that republicans cannot get on the same page and get their story straight is pretty clear evidence Dementia Don called Milwaukee 'a horrible city.'

Billboards have already gone up in the city and surrounding areas with Dementia Don's mug on them and his quote as reported by The Milwaukee Sentinel: "Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city": axios.com - Trump milwaukee billboards dnc

And the Biden-Harris campaign is selling Wisconsin branded merchandise (t-shirts, stickers, and beer coolers) that says "(NOT) A Horrible City" and "I Love Milwaukee" with a mug of beer where the love/heart usually goes: shop.joebiden.com - Not a horrible city

Sorry, but you're still in a cult.
