Republicans are livid with the Secret Service who are refusing to move the perimeter of the “security zone” at the Republican Convention in Milwaukee further from the Finserv Forum.
The current “free speech zone” for the convention is in Pere Lafayette Park, a mere quarter of a mile from the convention venue. By comparison, the Democrats in Chicago have set up a free speech zone about three miles from the United Center where the convention will be held. There will also be several other “security zones” around the United Center.
Republican officials met with the Secret Service and strongly urged them to move the free speech zone further than a quarter mile from the venue. The agency refused.
The park’s location sets up a gauntlet that convention delegates will have to walk through to get to the venue. While most convention gores will arrive on buses, restricting the movement of delegates and guests because of security concerns is unacceptable, say Republicans.
“We have no information that there will be unrest related to that activity,” one Secret Service official said.
In fact, Milwaukee police are claiming the real danger at the convention is from Republican delegates.
Washington Post:
At the meeting, a Milwaukee police captain also said there were concerns within the community that Republican convention attendees might “terrorize Milwaukee citizens” and “harass minorities.”
“There is fear in the community,” the Milwaukee police official said.
Nick DeSiato, chief of staff for Milwaukee’s City Hall, said that “the captain’s comment reflected feedback from some of our community members.”
The Republicans in the room took umbrage at the comments.
