Wisconsin U.S. Senator Ron Johnson said yesterday that Governor Tony Evers should reconsider refusal of Federal Assistance for Kenosha.
The senator from Oshkosh said after another night of violence in Kenosha, ”It is heartbreaking that the violence (in the Wisconsin city) has now escalated to include the loss of human life. Although it will not guarantee peace, Governor Evers should reconsider his refusal to accept President Trump’s offer to send more personnel to restore order.”
Johnson added “It is now three days since Jacob Blake was shot. I have repeatedly urged peace, and I renew that call today. Anarchy & chaos will not advance justice and must be stopped.”
Shortly after, President Trump went to Twitter and said, “My team just got off the phone with Governor Evers, who agreed to accept federal assistance.”
The protests last night remained peaceful.
