Milwaukee Mayor Chevy Johnson made headlines for Trump remarks
Milwaukee Mayor Chevy Johnson has taken to the stage.
He made headlines in June after former President Donald Trump reportedly called Milwaukee "horrible" in a closed-door meeting weeks before the city hosted the Republican National Convention.

"Donald Trump was talking about things that he thinks are horrible. All of us lived through his presidency. So, right back at you, buddy," Johnson said in response during a news conference at the time.
Asked at the time what he meant by the reported "horrible city" comment, Trump told Fox News he was referring to crime in Milwaukee and the 2020 election.
