Kenosha,Joe Biden,Campaign Rhetoric,2020 Election
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden went to Wisconsin Thursday, two days after President Trump, but his travels left locals with many questions about his motives.
"It was all mom-and-pop stores that got destroyed down here. It's really sad. It's heartbreaking. We're trying to find justice, and we all know that the people here are on the right side of the issue," said Jack Jay, a 28-year-old bartender in Kenosha who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the 2020 primary. "And then to have Trump come in here and be like, 'OK, I'm here. You can all thank me,' is one thing. But Biden is just a joke to me. What are you going to do for us?"
The city experienced much turmoil in recent weeks after the police shooting of Jacob Blake sparked days of protests that turned violent as the country confronts centuries of systemic racism and social discord.
