'Trump Dissed Milwaukee' Hoax

Not another hoax. From Breitbart:
House Republicans are refuting a report that former President Donald Trump, on Thursday, disparaged Milwaukee, the host city for the Republican National Convention in July.

Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman posted on X about a comment Trump reportedly made during a closed-door meeting with House Republicans at the Capitol Hill Club on Thursday.

“Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city,” Sherman quoted Trump as saying. Media were not present for the meeting, so Sherman would have heard this secondhand. However, he did not attribute the comment to any source, even an anonymous one.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) slammed the reporting as false.

...Wisconsin representatives also ripped Sherman’s reporting.
...Sources also told Daily Caller Chief National Correspondent Henry Rodgers that the 45th president did not make the remark.

Sherman responded to Van Orden’s tweet, contending, “Trump said what he said and people are going to hear whatever they want to hear.”

The 45th president’s senior adviser, Jason Miller, and his campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, both called the reporting “bullshit.”
Debunking happens swiftly, Biden hacks.

Tread lightly, Democrats. Or not. Keep sinking.
