A Wisconsin Democrat is facing heat after boldly stating hate for suburbs while debating the rising crime plaguing cities.
State Sen. LaTonya Johnson said, "bleep the suburbs," during a debate on the Senate floor over increased funding for police as city crime makes its way to quiet suburbs.
"To say that these additional police are needed because crime is spilling out into the suburbs. What about these babies who are being lost right in their own cities?" Johnson said.
After her long-winded rant, Johnson yelled, "Bleep the suburbs because they don't know a ***dam thing about how life is in the city."
Critics over Twitter erupted in fury, attacking the privileged Democrat, comparing Johnson's comments to Hillary Clinton's 2016 gaffe when she labeled President Trump fans "deplorable."
"Elected officials say dumb things occasionally, and when that happens, apologies are appropriate," Wisconsin senate speaker Robin Vos tweeted.
"Outnumbered" co-host Kayleigh McEnany also criticized Johnson calling her remarks "politically dumb."
"You're just going to cast away part of society. We're constituents; we're Americans, those of us who live in the suburbs," McEnany said. "But also, it's just politically dumb. Suburban women are a powerhouse voting bloc."
She pointed out that President Joe Biden's winning votes can be attributed to the suburban vote.
Senior adviser at America First Legal, Ian Prior, warned that Johnson's remarks could be dangerous.
"Crime is spilling into the suburbs because of the policies that these kind of lawmakers support," Prior said, referring to the Left's soft-on-crime policies.
On the contrary, if that were a Republican who said the same thing as Johnson did, the Left would have a field day all over mainstream media.
Human trafficking in the city has soared 29 percent just this year, as well as robbery. Milwaukee has also seen a spike in rapes.
Real nice mouth on that thing.
>> After her long-winded rant, Johnson yelled, “F**k the suburbs because they don’t know a goddamn thing about how life is in the city.”
#ing Rat
The rat party truly is evil.
9o% likely that those killing the "babies being lost" are the ones who people like Johnson are trying to reduce legal punishment of.
Actually Laqueesha, we know quite a g-d bit about life in the city. Its the major reason we either left the city, or decided never to live there in the first place.
She sounds like a wonderful person!! 🤣
When people tell you who they are, listen.
“Dumb”
No, how about extremely offensive and repulsive. How about remarks that should have her tossed out of office.
Exactly. We don’t want to live with the uncivilized and uneducated.
Angry, hate filled negress.
Yes. Add in the socialists who think our money is their money.
Prominent black females are having a tough week with all the racist, illogical and hysterical things that have been reported as saying. Worse, they have exposed themselves as being pretty stupid. It is rational to hire more cops and arrest more criminals, even if they’re black, to quell a crime wave. Works every time.
Wall off the ghetto s holes and leave the ferals to their own devices.
Ghettopotamus.

She sounds like a lot of fun and a really pleasant person.
That’s the plan, man.
I don’t think she’s even a woman!
