  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Multiple members of Congress, including members of Wisconsin’s own delegation, debunked Sherman’s false claim. According to several congressmen present, Trump’s use of the term “horrible” was specifically tied to these systemic problems, not the city or its residents.

I'm glad to see swift action. All Americans can help stop the media hoaxes from spreading so fast.

We have nothing but hearsay on that meeting. I don't trust what anyone says about it. I have to say that the Associated Press should not have accused Trump in the title of their article without better support. They admit in the article that there were conflicting accounts.

I'm losing count of the illegal and immoral things this guy has done. And you want to complain that he didn't call somewhere horrible?

Really?

I heard he once put a kitten up in a tree and didn't help it down. That's a felony in NYC if they can find someone to testify.

Both sides puts a "spin" on things often (very often) we have no idea what is really going on most of the time.

Ridiculous.

If the convicted felon Trump did not say what he said, congress people would be saying he did not say it. But that is not what they are doing - they are trying to clarify what he was referring to calling Milwaukee as 'horrible'

"Several congressmen who support Trump and attended the meeting argued he was referring to crime and voter fraud."

"Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung posted on X that Trump “was talking about how terrible crime and voter fraud are.”




He said it, and they are not denying it. They are simply trying to clarify why he said it.

After all the terrible things Trump has said about Democratic cities and states, I laugh at the thought of people trying to call this fake news. LOL

Own your leader and the awful things he says. You defend him on his criminal actions....why not own this 'little and irrelevant" statement.

It is interesting that they are actually getting called on it. Their tactics are that obvious
Some people said he said nothing. Others said he did but it was about law and order. Some others say he was talking about the state government. others about voter fraud.

You'd think that if they wanted to deny what he said then they'd all get their stories to agree.
