Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot's gun-controlled Chicago is still one of the most violent places in the country.
"Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot stated her plan for addressing crime is 'working' despite recent data showing major crime increased by 41 percent in 2022," reports Breitbart.
"As Lightfoot prepares to run for reelection the upcoming mayoral race, with the first round set for 28, she has recently claimed her administration has done an adequate job handling the city’s crime crisis," Breitbart reported.
Lightfoot BUSTED
"On January 10, Lightfoot shared a campaign ad on Twitter, claiming that she is putting more police officers on the streets while getting more guns off them," reported Breitbart.
"When it comes to addressing crime in our city, I’ve got a plan — and it’s working," Lightfoot said in a tweet.
"Five days earlier, Lightfoot attacked one of her mayoral opponents, Paul Vallas, after he stated that 'crime is out of control in Chicago' and that he would put more police officers on streets and public transpiration," reported Breitbart.
Lightfoot answered: "Paul, do your homework. We’re already doing all of this — holding dangerous people accountable, tackling gangs and gun violence, making equitable investments in our communities — and will continue to make Chicago safer. Much more to do, but we are on the right path."
