We had a Milwaukee historian fact-check the GOP's claims.
The Democratic National Committee has selected Milwaukee to host the 2020 national convention. By Reis Thebault Reis Thebault National and breaking news reporter Email Bio Follow March 11 at 10:56 PM To hear Republicans tell it, the Democratic Party has rarely been more radical, more off-the-rails — more socialist.
On Monday, after the Democratic National Committee announced it would hold its 2020 presidential nominating convention in Milwaukee, the state’s GOP issued what amounted to a warning: Liberals are trying to Milwaukeeize America. “The socialists here were the ones carrying the flag of reform in reaction to the miscreants in office,” he said.
About 25 years later, the Socialist Party had its biggest election year to date. In 1910, Milwaukee chose Emil Seidel to be the city’s first socialist mayor, voted a socialist majority to the council and to the county commission, and elected the first socialist congressman, Victor Berger.Daniel Webster Hoan, elected in 1916, was the city’s second socialist mayor, presiding until 1940. Historians, Gurda included, consider Hoan Milwaukee’s best leader.
