A black Trump supporter was murdered last week. You probably haven’t heard about it, even though it should be BIG news. Black Lives Matter, right???

Well, the mainstream media has ignored the life and death of Bernell Trammell. He was an avid Trump supporter who was murdered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last Thursday.

From New York Post:

The shooting death of a black Trump supporter in Milwaukee has state Republicans calling for a federal investigation.

Bernell Trammell, 60, a dreadlocked activist known for carrying handmade signs through the streets reading “Vote Donald Trump 2020,” and posting them on his storefront, was gunned down by an unknown assailant on his sidewalk Thursday afternoon, police said.

“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,” said Andrew Hitt, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, late Friday.

“No American should fear for their personal safety because of where they live or their political affiliation,” Hitt added.

Hitt is right, of course. Unfortunately, we are living in a time when people fear for their safety because of their political views. I will not drive in Indianapolis with my Trump magnet on my car.  I did that ONCE and ended up being screamed at by a deranged woman. All with my little kids in the car.

Not only are people in fear of their physical safety, there is also a very real fear of losing a job, college admission, and social standing due to one’s political beliefs. The extreme left’s cancel culture and behavior has had a chilling effect on free expression and dialogue in America.

But Trammell was courageous and spoke undeterred and unafraid.

Trammell was a familiar figure in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood, frequently pedaling a bicycle or walking the streets with signs proclaiming his eclectic religious or political thoughts.

“He had a lot of different views,” local writer Adebisi Agoro told The Post. “But it was his last view that made people be outrageous with him.”

The pro-Trump signage was stirring up angry posts on neighborhood Facebook pages, Agoro said. On Monday, a man followed Trammell around town holding a sign reading “Sike” — local slang for “not!” or “as if” — to counter it.

Trammell “didn’t have internet, he didn’t have a phone, he didn’t have a dime to his name,” Agoro said. “But he got his message out.”

There are no suspects in Trammell’s murder. According to this local news report, Trammell was very outspoken and had a wide variety of political beliefs. He supported Black Lives Matter. He supported police reform. And he supported Donald Trump. Despite his outspokenness, he was liked and respected in the community.

Spread the word about Trammell’s life.

Trammell’s Black Life Mattered.

Let’s hope and pray that whoever committed this awful crime is brought to justice.
