Trump Calls Illinois Governor Pritzker a ‘Disaster’ as Federal Crime Intervention in Chicago Faces State Opposition
The plan is simple. He wants to bring law and order back to our most dangerous cities. You’d think everyone would want that, right? Wrong. The biggest pushback is coming from the swamp politicians who created the mess.
The new front line in this fight is Chicago. President Donald Trump has offered to help the city stop its horrific violence. But the state’s governor, JB Pritzker, basically told him to get lost. President Trump, who never pulls a punch, said exactly what he thought about the governor.
President Donald Trump took a swipe at Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) as he touted the success of his crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. — and discussed the possibility of sending National Guard troops to other cities in the hopes of seeing similar results…
“That guy is a disaster… I don’t like going to a town, a city, a place — a state, and then be criticized by some corrupt or incompetent governor where crime is rampant.”
What we’re seeing here is a tale of two very different leaders. First, you have President Trump. He’s all about getting things done. He points to Washington, D.C. as his proof. “Take a look at D.C. — crime was rampant… For eleven days, there have been NO murders,” he said. That’s a leader focused on results.
Then you have Governor Pritzker. He’s focused on his own ego. Instead of dealing with the dead bodies piling up in Chicago, he told the President, “Do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.” Have you ever seen anything like it? The arrogance is just stunning. He’d rather let his city burn than accept help from a political opponent.
The liberal media will tell you crime is going down. Don’t believe them. They are lying to you. Here is the cold, hard truth: Chicago has seen 262 homicides so far this year.
Think about that for a second. That’s not just a number on a spreadsheet. That’s 262 families, 262 empty chairs at the dinner table. This is what decades of Democrat failure looks like. And for Governor Pritzker to say that help isn’t “needed” is an insult to every single one of those families.
So, what do Democrats do when they can’t defend their horrible record? They start screaming and playing legal games. Chicago’s mayor is calling the President’s plan a “military occupation.” A “military occupation”? Seriously? Give me a break. It’s not an occupation to want safe streets for American citizens.
