Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday proclaimed his love for Milwaukee, less than a week after he reportedly called the city “horrible” during a meeting with House Republicans.
“I love Milwaukee,” he told the crowd here in Racine, a city 30 miles south of Milwaukee. Trump said it was his choice to have Milwaukee host the Republican National Convention this summer. “I was the one that picked it,” the former president said. “These lying people. They say, ‘Oh, he doesn’t like Milwaukee.’ I love Milwaukee. I said we’ve got to fix the crime. We all know that. You’ve got to make sure the election is honest, but I’m the one who picked Milwaukee.
“I think you had about 10 congressmen in a meeting that we had recently where I said how much I like Milwaukee. That’s all what they said,” he said. At a closed-door meeting Thursday with House Republicans on Capitol Hill, the former called Milwaukee “horrible” during a rant about crime rates and so-called election integrity, according to a source in the room.
