Democrat lawmaker torched over shocking 'f--- the suburbs' statement: A 'basket of deplorables' moment (Wisconsin)
Fox News ^ | 7/01/23 | Amy Nelson

A Wisconsin Democrat sparked fierce backlash after boldly voicing her opinion on the spread of crime out of big cities. "Outnumbered" panelists pulled no punches when discussing State Sen. LaTonya Johnson’s suggestion to "f--- the suburbs."

Johnson made the statement on the state’s Senate floor during a debate over increased funding for police as city crime makes its way to quiet suburbs.

"To say that these additional police are needed because crime is spilling out into the suburbs. What about these babies who are being lost right in their own cities?" she began Wednesday.

"F--- the suburbs, because they don't know a God damn thing about how life is in the city."

"Outnumbered" co-host Kayleigh McEnany characterized Johnson’s comments as a "basket of deplorables" moment.

"You’re just going to cast away part of society. We’re constituents, we're Americans, those of us who live in the suburbs," McEnany said. "But also it’s just politically dumb. Suburban women are a powerhouse voting bloc."

McEnany made the point that Biden’s presidential victory, in large part, can be attributed to the suburban vote.

"So this suburban women cohort, that we on the right will try to court, you're just going to toss them aside? F the suburbs? Go with that. See how it works out," she said.

Ian Prior, senior adviser at America First Legal, added that crime needs to be addressed regardless of where it occurs.

He said Johnson’s statement is dangerous.

"Crime is spilling into the suburbs because of the policies that these kind of lawmakers support," Prior explained, referring to progressive soft-on-crime initiatives.

“There may have been some voter fraud in these counties”

Ya think?! There was fraud EVERYWHERE, and the republicant’s and courts did nothing about any of it.

President Trump’s dark PACs (lol) need to run that as a campaign ad in the Rust Belt over and over and over and over.

I don't expect LaTonya to get this but the suburbs are usually the bigger finder of those tax $ all politicians love so much.

“F-— the suburbs, because they don’t know a God damn thing about how life is in the city.”

I got as far as “La Tonya” and knew where this was going. The reason suburbs exist is because people get fed up being around the likes of her and hers. I know plenty about life in the city, and I’ll take the ‘burbs and beyond any day.

The left are now throwing all decorum out the window,and verbally attacking anyone that questions them. They’ve been doing it for awhile, but lately it is getting worse- even attacking elderly constituents with abusive bullying comments meant to silence - they forget that they work for the people- they think the people are there to obey and work for them apparently

People in the suburbs work hard to pay a lot to live there, they have plenty of motivation to stand up to to anyone coming in and destroying the peace.

“… they don’t know a God damn thing about how life is in the city.”

Sure they do, that’s why they live in the ‘burbs.

Amazing how Democrats can say whatever they want and face no consequences.

I kinda think that campaign ads, featuring this she-donkey and her words (un-bleeped), will write themselves.

“F the suburbs”........translated.....”F White people” It’s not that hard to figure out.

Democrats need to clean up their own hellholes rather than spread crime to suburbs.

Here's a suggestion for democrats: STOP incentivizing criminals, the 'homeless', drug addicts, and thieves... (the longest journey starts with one step forward)

This adage told to me by a wise man of high melanin “you can take da thug out da hood but you can’t take da hood out da thug” can be said of all today's democRATs of color and no class--Maxine Waters, Cory Bush, Arina Pressley, the list goes on and on.

Ironically in France, it’s the suburbs where all the troubles are.

What about these babies who are being lost right in their own cities?

LaTonya, Planned Parenthood is doing so well because you folks make it do so well.

Oh, you're talking about your young people's propensity to criminality and its results.
