Democrat lawmaker torched over shocking 'f--- the suburbs' statement: A 'basket of deplorables' moment (Wisconsin)

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.

"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.

It’s the old attitude of getting eaten last.

Whinging about babies being lost in the cites while the same commie trash supports murdering kids right at birth?

Piss off.

There are non-whites living in the suburbs these days. I consider them smart. Does she consider them expendable?
