Prior to that, he will tape a one-hour town hall on the election and police reform, with Fox News host Sean Hannity at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport. In a letter Wednesday, Genrich encouraged Trump to listen and learn from all members of the community during his town hall, including "those who have been left out of your vision for America." The mayor, who served in the state Assembly as a Democrat, said Green Bay is a hospitable city with a "vibrant immigrant heritage" and strong ties to indigenous people in the region. "Our instinct toward hospitality, of course, extends to our president, but I want you to know that it has its limitations," Genrich wrote. "We don't tolerate intolerance or willful ignorance, and we won't endorse or ignore divisive and bigoted rhetoric."Related Facebook postThe White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Genrich pointed to the coronavirus pandemic that has infected over 2,600 people in Brown County and said the country needs a leader who will listen to public health experts while discussing the virus' social and psychological impact. The president must also support workers and small business owners as officials restart the economy, he said.  The mayor also called attention to conversations about systemic racism and police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's death while in Minneapolis custody. Protesters in Green Bay have held peaceful marches to demand changes to the criminal justice system, and with Police Chief Andrew Smith to discuss the department's use-of-force policies.  Genrich asked Trump to show "honest, empathetic, and courageous leadership" and said people deserve a president who sees an urgent need to combat racism.  "If you have the inclination to do any of these things, please know I will support your efforts, regardless of our very real political differences," he said.  Contact Haley BeMiller at hbemiller@gannett.com.
