Pritzker’s outrage over Trump’s National Guard ultimatum highlights Illinois’ crime crisis.
Illinois governor, anti-law-and-order activist, and human blimp JB Pritzker is un-virtuously outraged at Donald Trump’s ultimatum to call up the National Guard or accept that the administration will federalize them.
Last year, Chicago earned the unenviable title of America’s homicide capital — for the 13th year in a row. Other types of violent crime remain unacceptably high, shootings pepper every weekend, and Chicago is also deeply in debt over funding illegal aliens, of whom the Trump administration has arrested over 1,000 there in recent weeks. Illinois and its infamous crime-plagued city need to crack down on crime. That is the last thing that Pritzker and his fellow Democrats want to do, however, as the governor made perfectly clear on Saturday.
Pritzker, who falsely accused Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of arresting U.S. citizens and trying to impose tyranny, issued a nauseating, hysterical, callous, and thoroughly dishonest statement Oct. 4. The Democrat governor bewailed arrests of violent anti-ICE protestors who attacked the Chicago ICE facility, bemoaned an ICE raid on a Walmart with multiple criminal illegals, and did not mention that ICE was forced to deploy tear gas on a crowded street because they were being threatened and boxed in by leftist rioters and their vehicles.
