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.

In their minds suburbs = White, so the suburbs must be hated.

Amazing how Democrats can say whatever they want and face no consequences. That WAS worse than what Hillary said. They hate us, they want to kill us and the DOJ and FBI let them incite it.

“F the suburbs”........translated.....”F White people”

It’s not that hard to figure out.

It already is in most urban areas.

Suburbians don’t know what life is in the cities??? Seriously?

The city is probably where they worked to EARN the money to move out of the city. They DO know what life in the city is... and that’s why they move OUT!!!

Correction on the statement about suburban women.
Biden almost won 2020 due to the under informed vote ,one; the welfare influenced vote, two and most of all and for the fake win
THE STEAL, three.
President Trump is rightfully still President of the United States

It takes wisdom to truly understand what is coming out of Satan’s offspring. She is stating “F” the suburbs because she knows that the D’s control the election in the CITY at their vote counting centers. They rule the nation now. Joe Biden “won” because of people in the ‘burbs could do nothing about these vote stealing centers. You would also have to be living under a rock to not understand D voting. The D candidate could rape a person on live TV and be re-elected to office. Our nation has been handed over to judgment… strap yourself in for the long haul. Get your rations together to hunker down in the bunker. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

I refer back to Matt Bracken’s “When the Music stops.”

He wrote this before Antifa was an “idea” manifest as a participant and accelerant in many riots. So add that to the mix.

Plus in the spirit of never underestimating one’s enemy, with Antifa and modern social media assisted by a sympathetic government in the mix the tactics and organization of ‘the mob’ is likely to be better across the board. E.g. they will use UAVs too, etc etc.

Net: read this. Update it to current scenarios, and stay prepared. And GET OUT of ‘urban’ AOs. https://shadowman.substack.com/p/bracken-when-the-music-stops-how

One more comment. I know Matt and his wife personally. They are great people.

Matt’s greatest challenge is his prescience, meaning he is right too early (not really) and people award him ‘kook’ status when he is anything but. It’s their loss.

Never underestimate the stupidity of suburban women. Despite the George Floyd riots in 2020, the worst in this country since 1968, suburban counties turned out smaller margins for Trump in 2020 vs. 2016, or even flipped to the Democrats. There may have been some voter fraud in these counties, but not as much as in the urban counties.

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

I do understand it Ms. LaTonka. The problem with cities is failed ghetto culture (don’t think I need to list the attributes of it). All the envy and hatred of others will not solve it.

IMs. Tonka, you’re nothing new, seen this show before many times. You will make money off of the failed ghetto culture. You’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with them frothing at the mouth with envy in hatred, then drive off in a luxury car - probably to the suburbs. You will fail to actually help people as an elected leader, and only make life worse for them.

Miss LaTonka just showed how classless she truly is. She lacks an intelligent argument against her opponents, so she resorts to profanity and name calling. How juvenile of her.
