How many Chicago murders are Democrats OK with?

Rather than admit that Chicago has a violence problem, Democratic Illinois leaders are dismissing it as a non-issue and trying to score points on Republicans instead.

President Donald Trump is continuing to threaten to send the National Guard into Chicago to get the city’s crime problem under control. In response, Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker posted a video of himself walking through a nice part of the city at 6 a.m. on a Monday. When confronted in an interview about 54 people being shot, and seven killed, over the weekend, Pritzker dismissed it as “big cities have crime … but let’s just pay attention to what President Trump is doing.”
