Nearly 60 people were shot and at least nine people were killed in Chicago over Labor Day weekend amid dozens of shootings that marked the most violent holiday weekend of the summer in one of the nation’s most dangerous cities. The shootings included a drive-by attack that wounded seven people and another that resulted in a teenage girl getting hit by a stray bullet.

No problem, according to Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker — who has repeatedly resisted calls from President Donald J. Trump to ask for assistance in quelling the violence after the Trump Administration’s remarkable success cracking down on crime in the nation’s capital.

According to Pritzker:

“We’ve been trying to prevent crime and it’s been working.” (Link)
“We have our job, which is to fight violent crime on the streets of our city — and by the way, we’re succeeding.” (Link)
“There is no emergency.” (Link)
“Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis.” (Link)
“Big cities have crime.” (Link)

Despite pleas from residents, members of the city council, and even MSNBC, Pritzker is too blinded by Trump Derangement Syndrome to take action in the best interest of his constituents and end the bloodshed.

The Trump Administration’s message to Chicagoans and residents in Democrat-run cities nationwide is simple: you don’t have to live like this.
