It is hard to believe that even true-believer Democrats could isolate themselves from reality enough to believe the outrageous lies JB Pritzker vomits in a continuous stream. His arrogance is astonishing as he claims that the stratospheric murder rate in Chicago is not even in the top 30 among big cities (it is currently #10 among major cities overall and #1 among the 10 largest). When Bret Baier presents him with receipts, he resorts to still sillier lies:

The reason Jelly Belly has been doing everything in his power to prevent Trump from restoring law and order in Chicago is that Democrats are bringing crime down, whereas Donald Trump is doing the opposite. He said that with a straight face.
If the Chicago murder rate has been cut in half over the past 4 years as he claims, imagine what it would have been like previously. Al Capone would be afraid to set foot in the place.
