THE HILL
After his campaign said that former President Trump was referring to election integrity and crime when he reportedly made disparaging comments about Milwaukee at a meeting with Congressional Republicans, Trump took to Truth Social to say that “Democrats are making up stories that I said Milwaukee is a ‘horrible city.’
“This is false a complete lie, just like the Laptop from Hell was a lie, Russia, Russia, Russia, was a lie, and so much more. It’s called Disinformation, and that’s all they know how to do. I picked Milwaukee, I know it well. It should therefore lead to my winning Wisconsin,” he wrote, apparently referring to the city hosting the upcoming Republican National Convention.
“But the Dems come out with this fake story, just like all of the others. It never ends. Don’t be duped. Who would say such a thing with that important State in the balance?” he added.
Biden won Wisconsin by 21,000 votes in the 2020 election, which was one of the closest margins nationwide.
Earlier this week, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung claimed that Trump was talking about crime and election issues in the city when he made the comment.
