LaTonya Johnson, a state Senator from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has declared \u201cf*ck the suburbs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what she specifically said, according to AP reporter Scott Bauer<\/a>: \u201cF\u2014 the suburbs because they don\u2019t know a goddamn thing about how life is in the city.\u201d He tweeted that the comment came during a debate about the state budget and crime spreading to the suburbs.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin Democratic state @StateSenLaTonya<\/a> uses the f-word at the conclusion of a floor speech detailing crime in Milwaukee and concerns about it spreading from the city to the suburbs:<\/p>\n

\u201cF\u2014 the suburbs because they don’t know a goddamn thing about how life is in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

And other Democrats \u2013 including another state representative who let the F bomb fly herself \u2013 are defending the lack of decorum.<\/p>\n

Bauer added, \u201cDemocratic Sen. @TimCarpenterMKE praised Johnson for giving an impassioned description of concerns about violence and policing in Milwaukee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democratic state Rep. Francesca Hong tweeted in a spelling-error riddled post, \u201cSenator Johnson spoke passionately to defend the communities she represents. Republicans who continuously weopanize and villinize the people of Milwaukee without accountability need to answer for constantly legislating racism. These absurd times in state gov call for real talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hong is a repeat offender; she frequently uses the F word in political discourse. These are just a few of the many examples:<\/p>\n

\"F*ck<\/p>\n

\"F*ck<\/p>\n

Let suburbanites in Wisconsin understand how Democrats see them \u2013 they want them to f*ck off \u2013 drawing no distinction by political party. It is somewhat reminiscent of Hillary Clinton\u2019s basket of deplorables and Tommy Thompson\u2019s \u201cstick it to \u2019em,\u201d referring to taxpayers in Waukesha and Milwaukee over the new Brewers stadium tax. In other words, it\u2019s one of those moments when a politician states in crystal clear terms how their party sees a group of folks.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFuck the Suburbs\u201d is truly remarkable messaging headed into a presidential year, but unfortunately this is the mentality that the Democrat Party of Wisconsin has. <\/p>\n

Eric Toney, the Fond du Lac county DA and former Republican attorney general candidate, tweeted, \u201c@StateSenLaTonya<\/a><\/span>, many don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to live in Milwaukee. I\u2019m grateful to live in a safe community and I want those that live in Milwaukee to experience that same level of safety. To not fear shootings, reckless drivers, car jackings, etc. I pray we agree on this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
