Even though he readily admitted that he didn’t actually know the circumstances surrounding Blake’s shooting, Evers fanned the (literal) flames by claiming that Blake was “mercilessly” shot and possibly killed by a Kenosha Police officer.
The layers of trauma Jacob Blake’s boys will feel and are feeling is not just limited to them alone but their community as well. These kind of distressing events have and continue to alter the Black community’s identity.
While desperately clinging to the notion the Black Lives Matter protests that have swept through Wisconsin and the nation are “mostly peaceful,” even Evers had to smell the smoke from Kenosha and see the shattered glass on State Street and the Capitol Square.
Why are voters still willing to trust Trump on the economy, even as we are mired in the midst of an economic downturn?
