Gov. Pritzker: “The president doesn't seem to understand that it's actually Republican states that have the crime problem. Of the 20 states that have the biggest crime problem, 13 of them are red states controlled by Republican governors.”

It's too bad we can't sue the government for lying to us. We would have dumped Trump long ago.

This isn't about crime. It is about Donald Trump expanding his police state to later intimidate people during the elections. youtu.be/HXd7z5bOstE

It's amazing how many people accept the lies of someone who is a convicted felon, a sexual predator, and an expert con artist who would sell our land, our monuments, and our democracy, leaving Americans financially destitute, without resources, all at the pleasure of the wanna be dictator. 😱

Wait there is a theme here The GOP that says they are the party of Law and Order but let crime rates get out of hand? The GOP screams about fiscal control runs up the largest debits? People still vote for them anyway without understanding that?

He understands perfectly well it isn’t about crime in these targeted cities. Pritzker should be calling him out on this and the actual intent of intimidation harassment for the sole purpose of the midterms. He wants a military stronghold in democratic cities.

Right, the focus on crime and law enforcement seems to be working. The DC Mayor was showing some appreciation yesterday for the help. I really wonder if they would have done anything about it themselves or if this whole counter dynamic will eventually benefit everyone.

This has nothing to do with crime. It’s all about control. Trump knows that red states will support him no matter what he does. It’s the blue states that need to come under his thumb, so that’s why he’s concentrating on blue cities. Once he has that, he can institute his own plan to be a dictator.
