If the government of Milwaukee wanted to find the fastest and easiest way to cause trouble for the Republican National Convention (July 15-18), for foes of the Chinese Communist Party, for Americans, for America—what could have been more effective per unit of time and energy expended than taking a second to delegate the task to the Chinese Communist Party itself? Just approve the application.
New York Post: “Milwaukee approved every RNC protest request, vetting no one—with the list including the ‘Chinese Communist Party’ ” (July 12, 2024).
One applicant pretended to be “Donald Trump” (contact person: “Joe Biden”); approved; identity unconfirmed.
What about the CCP application?
The list of protesting individuals and organizations signed up to take part in a parade or speaker platform during next week’s Republican National Convention includes the “Chinese Communist Party” and “Former President, Donald J. Trump”—as the city of Milwaukee approved everyone who applied, without vetting or checking identities….
The CCP would like to be in both a parade and a speaker platform every day of the convention in the early afternoon if the entry is to be believed….
Group registrants did not have to indicate the number of people who would be involved in the parade—and were not given any limits….
Asked whether the city knows if the CCP registration is legitimate, Jeff Flemming, director of communications and public engagement at the Milwaukee mayor’s office, told The Post, “We have asked no questions of the applicants, and no one has been denied.”
Why? Why did the city ask no questions? Why did it deny no one?
Best-case scenario, the CCP application is also fake. No way to know, since there was zero inquiry into the matter and apparently zero curiosity. But the motive for submitting a fake CCP application as a prank seems more obscure than the motive of a person who would submit a fake Donald Trump application as a prank.
So what’s the deal? Nobody heard of the Chinese Communist Party in the city government of Milwaukee? Were the persons working in the mayor’s office just way too busy, so many different municipal matters to juggle, to conduct any check of any kind of anybody? Does the Milwaukee city government feel that the CCP has an inalienable right to do what it can to sabotage U.S. national political conventions—Republican ones, anyway?
Or did the city have “no choice” in the matter?
According to another report, about the outcome of a protest of protest limitations in Milwaukee, a federal judge ruled in part that “the city and the Commissioner of Public Works Jerrel Kruschke could not approve speaker and demonstration applications on the basis of an applicant’s criminal history.” And we all know that the Chinese Communist Party has a criminal history.
