Former President Donald Trump hosted a rally in Wisconsin just days after allegedly disparaging the city of Milwaukee. Charlie Sykes and Cornell Belcher join The Eleventh Hour to discuss the fallout.
During the three-day event at which Donald Trump will officially be nominated for president by a party that has consistently opposed implementing gun safety measures, firearms will not be allowed near the convention area in downtown Milwaukee.
Prominent Republicans — including Trump himself — have publicly opposed gun-free zones, even as they have banned firearms at their own events. Firearms were also prohibited at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland. The ACLU of Wisconsin, which accused the city of violating protesters’ First Amendment rights in a lawsuit earlier this month, criticized restrictions on the planned protests, which have been limited to a parade route beyond the outer perimeter of the space.
