Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels will be touring the scarred streets of Kenosha on Tuesday, recognizing the second anniversary of the deadly riots. The word deadly is important as well is the destruction of property as Democrats continue to ignore what happened just six months before a Capitol Hill protest got a bit out of hand.
Steil explained to Fox News Digital that he and Michels plan to meet with the Kenosha Police Union before touring the affected parts of Kenosha.
The pair will further talk with "a business owner whose shop was burned to the ground by rioters throughout three nights of riots in Kenosha" before holding a roundtable with local law enforcement community members.

"And I think what we're going to see is, with a two-year look back, we're going to see the same story that we saw during and after the riots in Kenosha, that Kenosha needed additional resources," Steil announced. "Governor Evers failed to provide those additional resources."

"And as a result, not only was there property damage, not only were people seriously injured in the rioting, but people ultimately lost their lives and none of that had to occur," he went on. "If Governor Evers, as well as Mandela Barnes, for that matter, didn't release inflammatory statements before they had all the facts."

Evers argued law enforcement officials have "mercilessly killed" Black Americans after the shooting of Jacob Blake.

Barnes, in the meantime, accused the officers of their actions and claimed Blake, who was armed with a knife, was "trying to de-escalate a fight in his community" when he was shot.
The Republican congressman announced that much of the violence in Kenosha could have been "prevented" if Evers "had provided the resources that Kenosha needed" and denounced the Democrat governor for turning away federal help from former President Trump.

"And this failure of leadership by our governor directly impacted the thousands of people who call Kenosha home," Steil stated. "It was really indicative of what we're seeing of the far progressive left, that they would rather follow their political base rather than do what's needed to protect people in their respective community."

"And my view on this is everybody has a right to feel safe in our community. Absolutely everybody," the congressman went on. "And our governor's failure to provide that assistance has in many ways led to the destruction, the damage, the injuries and ultimately the loss of life."

Steil said the community of Kenosha is "strong," yet "that doesn't mean that the scars of those three nights aren't still felt."

"There are still buildings that have not been replaced that were burned to the ground," Steil announced. "Some buildings still have boards on them that were put up during those three nights. But overall, the city of Kenosha has come back and is coming back stronger than ever."
Steil's campaign shared photos of still-boarded businesses and echoes of graffiti targeting police tagged on buildings.
