Pres. Trump moving forward with a visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin, in what the White House says would be a “unifying” visit—even as the state’s governor has asked the president to reconsider.
, on Tuesday in what the White House said would be a “unifying” visit, even as the state’s governor has asked the president to reconsider and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden has accused him of “fanning the flames of hate and division in our society.”
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers speaks during a news conference, Aug. 27, 2020, in Kenosha, Wis. The city has suffered from unrest in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes is at rear. McEnany said the current plan was for the president to meet with law enforcement and tour “some of the damage from the riots” while in Kenosha.
It remained an open question Monday whether the president may meet with Blake’s family. Asked about the possibility, McEnany said the White House is “efforting outreach” to the family but has “not been able to connect yet.” The president remained silent of Blake’s shooting for days following the incident, only breaking his silence Friday in an interview with ABC affiliate WMUR, saying “It was not a good sight, I didn't like the sight of it certainly and most people would agree with that.
