Mayor Brandon Johnson says, “there’s no crime crisis in Chicago”
Trump on Monday: This would mean that over the past number of weeks, approximately 50 people were killed, and hundreds were shot, many expected to die. Governor Pritzker just stated that he doesn’t want Federal Government HELP! WHY??? What is wrong with this guy, and the 5% in Polls Mayor. I want to help the people of Chicago, not hurt them. Only the Criminals will be hurt! (Truth).
Mayor Brandon Johnson says, “there’s no crime crisis in Chicago”, yet mandates a protective detail of 150 police officers to guard him 24/7.
If there's “no crime crisis”, @ChicagosMayor doesn’t need an army of cops protecting him.

Why does Gov. Pritzker absolutely refuse to ask for help? Ed Morrissey: Good question. Everyone knows the answer, too. Donald Trump has J.B. Pritzker cornered, whether the governor of Illinois realizes it or not. After another violent weekend in Chicago, voters there and in the state are looking at the suddenly calm streets of Washington, DC … and wondering why they have to live with high levels of crime without any action from current leadership. Trump has already demonstrated that the introduction of federal resources can have a dramatic effect on crime, and especially on street crime. If those resources are available, some of them certainly wonder, why isn’t Pritzker asking for them? … The real reason: To do so would be to admit the progressive policies that Pritzker and Johnson apply are what is failing Chicago. Until the deployment in DC, Pritzker and Johnson could ignore crime and misery as inevitable and unaddressable. Trump proved that crime rates at the current level in American cities are neither inevitable nor unaddressable, and that puts Pritzker in a corner with no escape route (HA).
