A brave Chicago Democrat is finally telling the truth about his party’s dangerous crime policies. Alderman Raymond Lopez blasted his fellow Democrats for blocking federal help to stop the violence destroying his city. While kids are getting shot in the streets, liberal politicians care more about politics than protecting families.
Lopez shared the horrible reality facing Chicago families every single day. Two teenagers were shot in his own community just this past weekend. Parents are scared to let their children walk to school or play outside because of the crime wave hitting their neighborhoods.
The alderman called out his Democratic colleagues for lying to the public about crime statistics. These politicians keep saying crime is down while bullets are flying and families are living in fear. Lopez knows the truth because he sees it happening in his own ward where real people are getting hurt.
Federal agencies have always worked with local police to keep communities safe. But now liberal mayors and governors are fighting against this help because they hate anything connected to strong law enforcement. They would rather play politics than save lives in Chicago’s most dangerous areas.
Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor JB Pritzker are leading the charge against federal crime fighting efforts. These far-left politicians think they know better than the families begging for protection from gang violence. Their resistance to federal help shows they care more about their woke agenda than public safety.
Lopez pointed out the unfairness of how crime affects different communities. Rich Democrats living in gated communities with private security don’t worry about street crime. But working families in regular neighborhoods are trapped in a war zone while their elected leaders do nothing.
The alderman’s courage to speak out shows what real leadership looks like. While other Democrats stick to their talking points, Lopez is fighting for his constituents who just want to feel safe in their own homes. He understands that federal help could save lives in Chicago’s most violent areas.
Chicago families deserve leaders who will use every tool available to stop the bloodshed. Lopez proves that some Democrats still have common sense about law and order. It’s time for more politicians to put public safety ahead of their anti-police politics.
