Chicago Needs the National Guard Now

from The Spectacle Podcast: The Official Podcast of The American Spectator

Chicago just endured another bloody Labor Day weekend, with shootings once again driving up the city’s crime rate. Instead of addressing the problem directly, Democrats deflect by pointing to “red state crime,” ignoring that it’s still blue cities fueling those numbers. There is a straightforward solution to the violence however, Trump already showed it. In Washington, D.C., he proved that calling in the National Guard can restore order. Chicago deserves the same treatment. On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay break down Chicago’s latest wave of violence, the failure of Democrat leadership to deal with it, and why sending in the National Guard may be the only real solution left. They also expose how Democrats not only try to deflect blame, but actually profit from the chaos in their own cities.
