Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Gov. JB Pritzker responded after President Donald Trump wrote a letter to them about the violence in the city of Chicago.

I’m black and I haven’t heard not one thing Trump has ever said that’s racist. If anything the mayor needs to swallow her pride and take him up on his offer just to see if shootings/crime goes down.

[ronswanson]

Remember people of Chicago, YOUR mayor and governor just outright told you that their pride and political beliefs are more important than your lives.

Lightfoot doesn't have any humility. We need all the help we can get. So many dead bodies sprawled all over the city. 80% of the murders go unsolved. Lightfoot rather the violence continues instead of accepting help. She so arrogant and into Democratic Tribalism the fear and violence continues.

Pres absolutely correct. I was robbed at gunpoint at work in Austin neighborhood. I saw a mortar dropped from the roof onto a group of police. These two are scared of something. And y weren’t street repairs done while the streets were

[Tony-mddk]

Everything Lightfoot and pritzker accuse trump of doing they are actually doing. How can they be so arrogant?

[southcowgirl]

They definitely need to let him help!!

[wooskionehundred]

I’m black and I’m with Trump on this. 300 people were killed in Chicago and its only July. As a mayor that should be your biggest concern not switching the narrative to corona virus and police brutality and injustice smh. Stay on topic.

These negligent politicians need to be recalled and sued for, gross negligence and failure to protect their citizens. We need National guard on every corner in these neighborhoods. It's a WAR ZONE!!!

Lightfoot and Pritzker seem to be more concerned with keeping people out of church than keeping crime off the streets. Very sad and pathetic. It's the sign of a bully when they target defenseless people from going to church, but back down from trying to address the criminals. The sign of a very weak character. Very very very sad.

Mayor and governor don’t care about Chicago 🙄

[immyownpresident]

She responded to the letter via Twitter, Which was nothing more than democratic compliant assurance. This is sad because violence is going to continue until a plan is strategized, collectively.

[jamesbrasher]

The mayor needs to tell the families who keep losing their priceless children's lives that she has everything in controll and don't need help. You can't put a $ value on a child's life. Nomatter how much money it cost she needs to come up with some intelligent ideas and get it done. She works for the people and needs to do her job.

Regarding underground New World Order cloning facility did that thing come out of? 🤣

[baptisteindustriesllc.]

President Trump, he reached out on behalf of me.

[mrchitown]

If politicians can't handle the problem i Guess we need vigilantees, and a Lot of them to take care of the problem

[adaonetube]

Nice job Lightfoot. More violence tonight in Chicago. This time a 2 year old.

[mattdoe]

Lmao its all Trumps fault where is are leadership i can fix my own city but again we are doing a good job only people getting killed over nothing BLM

[JackTheSkunk]

Mayor Leadhead is to Chicongo what Di Blasio is to New York City.
Utter and complete failures. Oh well, you people voted them in.

[BillKreitzer]

Well they are wrong thinking that people are not leaving IL over this. I will soon be changing my address to AZ. 👍

[MadMaxMFP-dckw]

Seems to me the mayor and governor need to quit tweeting and get out on the street with the people and start policing their damn selves, instead of throwing cops 👮 under the bus 🚌 and stop ✋ talking politics
