The honest facts show a long history of being fairly cozy with the organized crime element of Chicago. Kenosha has far more similarity to Chicago and its' 'burbs than it does to Milwaukee, Madison, Racine etc. Kenosha corruption has been blatant for decades and a "white is right" mentality there is nothing new. That is being honest. People need to stop being afraid to say it. A good example of how this lack of understanding the actual circumstances of an area was on full display on Friday evening in a very ignorant segment by Steve Kornacki on MSNBC. He was talking about Kenosha and how the county voted for Obama but then he said that "local" Congressman Paul Ryan was a Republican. Not only did Kornacki totally fail to note that the district is heavily gerrymandered but anybody who actually lives here would hardly describe Paul Ryan as being "local" to Kenosha. Janesville and Kenosha are very different as we know.

When he was asked some difficult questions about Trump and the coronavirus, Snot walked up to the camera and switched it off. Wow, what a man.<br /><br />Actually, this is a favorite trick of cultists and people that are doing something shady. The GOP is guilty of both.

The Rs were running around in a frenzy on Wednesday trying their best to distract from both their inaction on multiple crises for over 100 days and Kenosha police/amateur militia shootings, while supporting the dark RNC story line. Most egregious were assertions based on a POTUS tweet that the Governor should have/already had acquiesced to Portland-style federal intervention. Nope. Recommend paying attention to WI Nat Guard commander Maj Gen Knapp's clarifying contribution to yesterday's Kenosha news conference as to the mechanics of receiving assistance from other states'guardsmen and women who would be integrated under his command. Knapp: "I don't worry about the President's tweets." <br /><br />Attitudes and behaviors of others at that press conference need to be heard to be believed.<br /><br />https://www.arlingtoncardinal.com/2020/08/kenosha-county-board-holds-news-conference-on-jacob-blake-protests-and-riot-shooting-that-killed-a-silver-lake-resident-and-a-kenosha-resident/<br /><br />P.S. Waiting with bait breath for Speaker Vos to emerge from an armored police vehicle on Kenosha Streets after dark, decked out in full body armor to declare the GOP has guaranteed everyone's safety.
