“We must stop President Trump’s military invasion of Chicago and other American cities to protect my family and yours. This assault on our cities is racist, plain and simple.
Trump has a racist history of being cozy with the KKK and Nazis. In 2017 the Associated Press fact check: What Trump said about Virginia protesters:
TRUMP: ‘But not all those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee.”
THE FACTS: The organizer of the rally, a local right-wing blogger and activist, has said he initially was spurred because of the city’s decision to remove the statue. But he has also said the event, dubbed “Unite the Right,” came to represent much more than that.
Jason Kessler told The Associated Press last week before the event that it was “about an anti-white climate within the Western world and the need for white people to have advocacy like other groups do.’
We have seen this creeping racism in Wisconsin before. I am the only elected leader who stood up when the Wisconsin GOP considered a resolution to leave the USA, secede from the Union.
I dressed as Major Bass Akwards to welcome the GOP to the Confederacy to highlight the racist policies of the racists. Brett Hulsey KKK stunt goes viral points out that other Democrats and progressives had talked about it by I sounded the alarm.
Being from the South and having worked in Mississippi, I have seen what the Klu Klux Klan and racism does to cities and families.
In the legislature, I fought racism like the Walker Unfair Despair Act 10, fought to protect Badgercare from cutting medicine for poor people, stopped a strip mine that would have threatened the Bad River Band, and many other attacks on poor people.
I moved to Wisconsin from Tulsa, Oklahoma, site of one of the worst race riots in US history. Racists and deputized thugs burned Black Wall Street, a whole African American neighborhood, to the ground. They dropped firebombs from the air and killed hundreds.
When I worked in Mississippi for the Alan Cranston(D-CA) for President Campaign in 1984, I met people who had their family members lynched in front of their house while they watched.
As governor I will keep the Wisconsin National Guard here to protect us.”
