While the article highlights accusations against &#8220;dishonest corporate media&#8221; for biased reporting on both politicians, it primarily defends Trump&#8217;s\u200c fluctuating statements about Milwaukee. Initially \u2062criticized for calling \u200bMilwaukee\u200c a \u2063&#8221;horrible city,&#8221; Trump later professed his love for the city, explaining that his \u2064earlier comment was specifically addressing Milwaukee&#8217;s election processes, which he\u2063 and some Republicans deem problematic. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, some Republicans suggest Trump also \u2062referred to crime rates in Milwaukee to label\u200b it as &#8220;horrible.&#8221;\u2062 This reflects broader concerns among citizens\u2064 and officials about crime \u200din Milwaukee, which saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/murders-spike-to-all-time-highs-in-democrat-run-us-cities\/\" title=\"Murders Spike to All-Time Highs in Democrat-Run US Cities\">record-high homicides<\/a> in recent years, although recent \u200dreports suggest a decrease in crime rates. The article argues that media often leaves out or misinterprets these contexts in their coverage. Additionally, concerns are\u200d raised about election integrity and the\u200d administration of elections in\u200d Milwaukee, \u200bwith some past events under scrutiny for\u200c potentially influencing election results. <\/p>\n<p>The article essentially challenges the impartiality of media reporting while defending Trump\u2019s comments on Milwaukee by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missing-self-described-digital-assassin-who-averaged-76-tweets-per-day-goes-curiously-silent\/\" title=\"MISSING: Self-Described \u2018Digital Assassin\u2019 Who Averaged 76 Tweets Per Day Goes Curiously Silent\">providing additional context<\/a> regarding crime and election administration concerns.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>The same dishonest corporate media that want you to believe Joe Biden didn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/18\/stop-trying-to-convince-me-joe-biden-isnt-a-confused-doddering-old-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">freeze up<\/a> and had to be helped off the stage by a former president has spent an insane amount of time and energy this week reporting on Donald Trump\u2019s thoughts on Milwaukee. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump made a brazen bid for support in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/latest-presidential-polls-democrats-panic-as-trump-outperforms-biden-in-vital-swing-states\/\" title=\"Latest Presidential Polls: Democrats Panic As Trump Outperforms Biden In Vital Swing States\">vital swing state<\/a> of Wisconsin on Tuesday by declaring his affection for its biggest population centre, Milwaukee, just days after denigrating it as a horrible city,\u201d the Guardian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/article\/2024\/jun\/18\/trump-election-rally-wisconsin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>.

Milwaukee, of course, is the site of next month\u2019s Republican National Convention, where Trump is slated to be nominated for a third time as the GOP\u2019s presidential candidate.

Milwaukee is a dangerous city. <\/p>\n<p>While crime is down, it\u2019s down from recent years when Milwaukee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpr.org\/economy\/milwaukee-has-set-homicide-records-3-years-row-violence-prevention-funds-remain-unspent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">threepeated homicide records<\/a>, hitting an all-time high of at least 224 murders in 2022, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The latest homicides include two teenage boys who were fatally shot. Police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/police-investigating-double-shooting-6-012559124.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported <\/a>multiple shootings last Saturday alone, leaving three people dead and a 6-year-old injured. <\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee politicians like to blame the crime spike on the pandemic. Of course, city officials pushing a defund-the-police agenda and morale-punched officers leaving in droves in the wake of a leftist-led law enforcement vilification campaign have nothing to do with it. <\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee\u2019s crime problem is in no small part a Milwaukee policy\/leadership problem. And the Brew City has for decades been led by Democrats, just like most of the communities on another top 10 most dangerous cities <a href=\"https:\/\/realestate.usnews.com\/places\/rankings\/most-dangerous-places\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">list.<\/a> Many of those same cities flirted with, entertained, or outright <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/2678144\/democrats-defunded-memphis-police-here-is-what-happened-next\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">defunded<\/a> portions of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-mcconnell-criticizes-calls-to-defund-the-police\/\" title=\"Sen. McConnell criticizes calls to defund the police\">law enforcement budgets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has made crime and declining quality of life in blue cities a top talking point in his presidential campaign, and rightly so. The accomplice media insist he\u2019s wrong. Some accuse him of being racist. Tell all that to the victims living in inner-city war zones. <\/p>\n<p>No doubt Trump needs Wisconsin, among six or seven swing states that will likely decide November\u2019s election. No doubt that\u2019s why the Republican Nation Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/2022-midterm-elections-wisconsin-presidential-milwaukee-nashville-7fa0c10f49caebca91e7044e09075838\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chose Milwaukee<\/a> to host its nominating convention. But Democrat enclave Milwaukee is still going to give most of its votes to Democrat Joe Biden. The majority of Milwaukeeans have long voted against their interests in the name of a party that has failed them. Why stop now?<\/p>\n<p>And its horrible elections office will surely do what it can to help Biden\u2019s cause, as it did in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>As is clear to anyone with eyes, Biden\u2019s getting a lot of help these days, particularly from his caretakers in the accomplice media.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-33b6637c19844bafd6e94e396724ae76 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-33b6637c19844bafd6e94e396724ae76\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The same deceptive corporate media claiming Joe Biden didn&#8217;t freeze and needed assistance offstage by a former president has obsessively covered Donald Trump&#8217;s opinions on Milwaukee this week.
