Milwaukee Republicans Call For Federal Investigation After Black Trump Supporter Is Gunned Down
Milwaukee Republicans are now calling for a federal investigation after a Black Trump supporter was gunned down on Thursday afternoon.
The victim, 60-year-old Bernell Trammell, was an activist known for his handmade “Vote Donald Trump 2020” signs, which he carried through the streets and posted on his publishing company’s storefront. On Thursday, he was gunned down by an unknown assailant, and now state GOP officials are demanding federal agents open an investigation.

On Friday, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin Andrew Hitt stated, “Because of Trammell’s well known political activism and the possibility that his murder could be politically motivated, I respectfully request that United States Attorney Matthew Krueger open an investigation. No American should fear for their personal safety because of where they live or their political affiliation.” Police have yet to make any arrests.
Furthermore, Reggie Moore, director of Milwaukee’s Office of Violence Prevention, says Trammell recently had a public dispute with a younger man in regards to one of his Trump signs. He adds, “He’s a black elder who didn’t deserve to die the way that he did.”
