Donald Trump's Republican allies on Thursday sought to deny and spin reports that the former president blasted the site of this year's Republican National Convention as a "horrible city" during a meeting on Capitol Hill.
“Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city,” the former president told congressional Republicans, according to PunchBowl News' Jake Sherman. It was a remarkable assessment of Wisconsin’s largest urban area, home not just to next month’s convention — taking place days after the presumptive nominee is due to be sentenced for some of his many alleged crimes — but tens of thousands of people whose votes the three-time candidate will need in November.
