IL GOP Leader McCombie blasts Gov. Pritzker for deflecting to Trump while Chicago crime remains out-of-control

from Furthermore with Amanda Head

On this episode of the podcast, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie examines the troubling crime landscape in Chicago and other major U.S. cities. Representative McCombie points to a combination of low police staffing and woke liberal policies — including zero cash bail and sanctuary city laws as drivers of the crisis. Although violent crime is down slightly, Chicago still ranks among the most violent cities per capita and remains above the five-year average. House Minority Leader McCombie called out Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor J.B. Pritzker for refusing to seek federal assistance and instead shifting blame to President Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
