Blake, a Black man, was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, sparking demonstrations in the city. Trump will visit Kenosha on Tuesday.
Blake's father told Acosta his family doesn't have a pastor. White House senior communications adviser Ben Williamson later tweeted that Trump was referring to the pastor of the younger Blake's mother.White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told CNN's Kaitlan Collins earlier Monday that,"Currently the plans are to meet with local law enforcement and some business owners, and he'll survey the damage.
Polls showed that Trump's numbers tumbled after George Floyd's death in May and the unrest that followed. So now, in the wake of another shooting of a Black man by police, it seems the President's strategy to respond has shifted. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, has asked Trump to not visit Kenosha as the city works to heal and to prevent diverting local resources for a presidential visit.
