Wisconsin’s Democratic gov tells Trump not to visit after president announced plans trip to inspect Kenosha riot damage
Tony Evers, the Wisconsin Democrat, who has been critical of President Trump, urged him to reconsider traveling to Kenosha on Tuesday. The city has experienced violent protests following the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, 29.
In a letter written by Evers and obtained by the Associated Press, the governor said, "I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. I am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together.”
The protests in Kenosha, which followed several in bigger cities around the nation, started this week after Blake was shot seven times on Aug. 23, by Kenosha police Officer Rusten Sheskey. Video seen on social media shows Sheskey shooting at Blake as he reached into his car, where Wisconsin officials later said a knife was found. The shooting left Blake paralyzed from the waist down.
