But now, the right wingers use that shit for everything, from politicians to laws and now to political conventions: Records show that the nonpartisan Host Committee for the 2024 Republican National Convention raised more than $92 million to fund the massive downtown Milwaukee event at the Fiserv Forum in mid-July. But more than half of the funds were funneled through the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce's Community Support Foundation, a nonprofit affiliated with the city's conservative business lobby.
