Liberal Chicago Mayor Says Republicans Are to Blame for Windy City’s Sky-High Murder Rate

Democrats say the darndest things.

Could it be because they are pretty much just grown children?

Probably.

For example…

From Daily Wire:

Last week, Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot, engaged in a Twitter war with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) over the city’s ongoing gun violence problem. Monday, she published an op-ed in the Washington Post blaming pro-gun Republicans like Cruz for the city’s sky-high murder rate, claiming the lenient GOP could save Chicago by instituting more stringent federal gun measures.

[…]

Lightfoot appeared to back off — until Monday, when she published an op-ed in the Washington Post, accusing the gun law-shy GOP of making Chicago a haven for gun violence.

Gun control doesn’t work. Look at Chicago. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer. Stopping violent criminals—prosecuting & getting them off the street—BEFORE they commit more violent crimes is the most effective way to reduce murder rates. Let’s protect our citizens.

Here comes Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot…

60% of illegal firearms recovered in Chicago come from outside IL—mostly from states dominated by coward Republicans like you who refuse to enact commonsense gun legislation. Keep our name out of your mouth.
