“It was very clear what I meant. I said, we’re very concerned with crime. I love Milwaukee, I have great friends in Milwaukee, but it’s as you know, the crime numbers are terrible.

Very, very bad,” he said. “Most Democrat-run cities, almost all of them have problems. But but they also have a problem with votes.”
