Another Deadly Weekend In JB Pritzker’s Chicago

Rapid Response

Over the weekend, at least 30 people were shot in Chicago , and five killed. Mayor Brandon Johnson and Fatcat Gov. JB Pritzker are denying reality instead of accepting President Trump’s help to fight violent crime.
 


 

Chicago residents are pleading for help, but JB Pritzker refuses to listen to them:

  • "Just the other day a 5-year-old boy got killed, shot in the head. It's like it's never gonna end.”
  • “I remember being in a family dollar store that got robbed… I was only 12 years old.”
  • "It's just gone from bad, to worse, to disaster."
  • "These kids are carrying guns like around the ages of 8 years old and they're killing other 8-year-old kids..."

Under President Trump’s leadership, Operation Midway Blitz has removed the worst criminals from Chicago’s streets. Despite Governor JB Pritzker’s resistance, President Trump remains committed to restoring law and order to the city.
