REPORTER: “This past weekend, 54 shot, 7 dead…”
PRITZKER: “Look, big cities have crime!”
The interview is notable for Pritzker’s complete lack of a defense. “Big cities have crime!” Yes, and Chicago has more than most. Better just accept it, says the billionaire Pritzker, who is protected by an armed security detail.
...
Note, too, how pitiful Pritzker’s attack on Trump is. He accuses Trump of discriminating against cities in blue states–there are cities in red states that have high crime, too! Sure, and those cities, just like Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., have been run by Democrats for decades. What’s the point? Not to mention that Trump is hardly discriminating against a city when he tries to reduce crime there.
What I can’t explain is why voters in blue cities persist in electing administrations that expose them to unacceptable levels of violent crime. Democratic Party governance is a perverse, self-inflicted disaster.

Illinois is a red state...except for Chicago/Cook County/ collar county filth/cheating.
the mayor of london said the same thing
And even worse, Chicago has a 16% successful arrest rate on murders in the city. So.....
a criminal has an 84% chance of killing people without fear of capture.
and leftist judges to give them a slap on the wrist
That’s true of every state without urbane Democrat strongholds every state is Republican
The left and the leftist bureaucrats are running “Operation Phoenix”. It’s a combination of Cloward-Piven ruin, and dystopian chaos, sent forth to burn it all down and start over instead of participating in our political processes. They got tired of losing, so they redefined with wordsmithing all their problems into all that to them is good and virtuous. A kinda Woke Orwellian madness from which there is no off ramp.
Chicqgo isnt a state. Compare apples to apples...chicago vs red cites...else the gotcha you think you found is actually the blue city within the red state.
Nothing gets past you does it?
This is similar to that buffoon mayor of London saying jihadi violence was just a part of living in a big city in Europe.
1. Aurora
2. Rockford
3. DeKalb
Makes me want to puke.
“Yabba-Dabba-Doo-Doo!”
Pr!ck$ter has a striking resemblance to Fred Flintstone…
