Joe Biden to visit Kenosha on Thursday
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | September 2, 2020 | Lynn Sweet

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and wife, Jill, will visit Kenosha on Thursday, coming after President Donald Trump toured damage from the unrest in the city on Tuesday — and weeks before voting starts in the key swing state of Wisconsin.

The campaign said Biden “will hold a community meeting in Kenosha to bring together Americans to heal and address the challenges we face. After, Vice President Biden and Dr. Biden will make a local stop.”

Kenosha has been struggling with violence in the wake of the shooting of a Black man, the Evanston-raised Jacob Blake, multiple times in the back by a white Kenosha police officer. The situation was further inflamed when an Antioch youth, Kyle Rittenhouse, ended up being charged with the shooting deaths of two men and wounding a third with the rifle he was carrying into the fray.

Biden’s Kenosha stop will be the first time he has visited Wisconsin as the nominee and after he canceled the Democratic National Convention in-person activities in Milwaukee. Trump has been taunting Biden for ignoring Wisconsin, which Trump won by 22,000 votes in 2016.

This is also the first time Biden will be taking himself out of his carefully controlled COVID-19 bubble and represents moving up the timetable of when his campaign said he would be resuming campaign travel. That original plan was to have Biden hit the swing state road after Labor Day.

The senile idiot is having a so-called press conference right now. What a flippin joke —Trump’s jackals are all so calm, quiet, and courteous for Hidey-Ho.

It’s not wrong to go there - it’s just wrong for Trump to go there.
