Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers wrote to President Donald Trump asking him to « reconsider » his decision to visit Kenosha amid protests sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake last week. In a letter sent to the White House Sunday, Evers asked Trump to reconsider his Kenosha visit, writing that he and « other community leaders » are concerned about what the president’s « presence will mean for Kenosha and our state. » « I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing, » Evers wrote. « I am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together. » He added he is also concerned that an in-person visit from the president « will require a massive re-direction » of resources to support his visit « at a time when it is critical that we continue to remain focused on keeping the people of Kenosha safe and supporting the community’s response.
