“I said no, thank you,” Paul Willette told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Willette is co-owner of Rode’s Camera Shop, which opened more than 100 years ago before being destroyed in a fire caused by rioters. “I didn’t want anything to do with President Trump.”

“If it were any other president I would, but not this one. I can’t begin to describe my frustration with him. I politely declined coming down there. I didn’t want to be part of that fiasco.”
