And we absolutely dont need that right now.”

But others said they want Trump to come.

The Kenosha County Board of Supervisors said Sunday in a letter to Trump that he shouldnt cancel his plans to visit the city.

“Kenoshans are hurting and looking for leadership, and your leadership in this time of crisis is greatly appreciated by those devastated by the violence in Kenosha,” they wrote.

Unrest started in Kenosha on Aug. 23 after a police officer shot Jacob Blake, a black man wanted for sexual assault who officials said resisted arrest and possessed a knife.

Rioters burned and looted buildings and businesses for three consecutive nights in unrest culminating in deadly shootings.
