Milwaukee Mayor: Trump Lied About Choosing Us To Host Republican Convention, It’s “Complete Fabrication”

“I’m a Democrat and the mayor of the largest city in the state, and we’re proud to host the Republican National Convention. We worked really, really hard to get the convention though. Folks at the RNC have been great.

“Right before I was initially elected mayor, I took time off the campaign trail to go to Washington, D.C., to go to the RNC headquarters, do the final pitch to bring the RNC here, and it was the RNC that selected Milwaukee.

“I think I would remember if Donald Trump had anything to do with that. He was nowhere to be found. That is a complete fabrication. I am stunned by that.” – Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson.
