The Truth About the “Horrible” Crime in Milwaukee

Last week, Donald Trump said behind closed doors to House Republicans, “Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city.”

Trump now denies making the insult to the city where the Republican National Convention will convene in mid-July. But several Republicans in the room already copped to it, while making excuses such as, “he was only talking about crime.”

The former president’s perception of Milwaukee may be shaped by the rise in homicides while he was in office.
