Former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy mocked Illinois Democrat Governor JB Pritzker for a video in which he claimed to feel safe in a dangerous Chicago neighborhood — after Trump cleaned out the criminals.
“JB Pritzker today put out another video in Little Village talking about how safe he feels,” McCarthy said when the governor put out his video. “Well, Little Village is primarily a Hispanic neighborhood here in Chicago. That district is down about 55% so far this year in murder. Well, where do you think ICE has been working in Chicago since January?”
McCarthy, who was Chicago Police Department (CPD) superintendent from 2011 to 2015 under Mayor Rahm Emanuel, recently appeared on the Will Cain show and ridiculed Gov. Pritzker’s video in which the governor claimed to “feel safe” in Chicago’s often violent and crime-ridden Little Village neighborhood.
In his video, Pritzker said that he was freely walking around in Little Village, feeling safe, and visiting residents and small businesses. He then claimed, “No emergency, so Donald Trump understands there’s no emergency to send troops in.” He then told Illinoisans that ICE has no right to “take people away.”
But McCarthy found the video to be hypocritical. Pritzker could feel safe in Little Village, the former top cop suggested, because ICE has already been working in the area and taken many criminals into custody, pointing out the irony of the situation.
