Jody Weis, the former police chief of Chicago, said that when it comes to Trump cracking down on crime in the city, what Democrats really fear is that it would work. This is undoubtedly correct.
Just like with Washington, DC, when people see that crime can be handled, they will realize that the Democrat leaders in Chicago are allowing this to happen. It is a matter of choice. Trump’s success at the southern border was the exact same thing.
When the people who live in Chicago see that they don’t have to live this way, some of them are going to start questioning these Democrats and they certainly don’t want that.
FOX News reports:
Former Chicago police official says Democrats are ‘afraid’ a Trump crime crackdown in the city would work
Former head of the Chicago Police Department Jody Weis called out the two top Democrats in Illinois, arguing they are afraid of being humiliated by President Donald Trump successfully bringing down crime in the city.
After Trump caused shockwaves with his crackdown on crime in Washington D.C., Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson warned the president against trying to interfere in Chicago. But Trump declared in no uncertain terms on Tuesday, “We’re going in. I didn’t say when, we’re going in.”
Weis spoke to National News Desk that same day, chastising Pritzker and Johnson for opposing Trump’s federal assistance efforts to combat crime…
“I think they are afraid that people will see what can be done if politicians commit to taking action and really want to make a difference,” Weis said. “That’s really the only reason I can think of because otherwise, it makes no sense.
Watch below:
“To me, when you refuse help, you’re saying you’re happy with the numbers — and that is absolutely unacceptable in Chicago right now.”

Weis is correct about all of this. It’s just amazing to watch Democrats oppose making a great American city safer because they don’t want to give Trump a win. They care more about that than the people.
