Common Responds To Donald Trump's Threat To Send Feds To Chicago
Hot New Hip Hop ^ | January 25, 2017 | Devon Jefferson

Common says "We gone help each other" in response to Trump's threats to send Feds to Chicago.

Last night President Donald Trump took to Twitter to share news about his big plans for national security and his plans to help remedy the "carnage" going on in the city of Chicago. In the tweet below Trump claims that the homicide rate is up 24% and vows to send the feds to the city if things don't get better soon.

Now, it appears that Chicago Native Common is 100% against Trump's plan to send federal officials to his hometown as the rapper voiced his opinion on the president's comments at LAX this afternoon. In the following video, Common was stopped by TMZ reporters and asked how he feels about Trump's plan for Chicago. While the rapper remains calm and collected in his response, he makes it very clear that he is not concerned with the president, but more so focused on how to work within the community to fix the problem as he states, "We need our stay local people to do things we don't need that type of mentality, so I am not focused on the president right now I'm focused on helping the people in the city."

You can watch the full clip in the video below. Stay tuned for more details on this situation as they develop.

They’ve been helping each other.

And voting for Democrats.

Both aren’t working.

Maybe Common ought to shut his blowhole and DO something instead of just polluting the air with noxious emissions.

They were rather quiet about this issue when obunghole sent the Dept. of Justus in. Why the uproar all of a sudden?

Excellent actor. Enjoyed him in "Hell on Wheels", but he needs to keep his mouth shut about this. Not his monkey, not his circus, especially when he was so quiet when obunghole sent the DOJ to St. Louis, Baltimore, etc.

He was good on Hell on Wheels. Doesn’t mean I care about his opinion on anything.

So Common is going to work within the community — from Los Angeles (LAX). Uh huh.

That’s how I know.

Christopher Heyerdahl (Swede...”I’m Norwegian”) is probably the best actor on TV.
