John Hinderaker:
The interview is notable for Pritzker’s complete lack of a defense. “Big cities have crime!” Yes, and Chicago has more than most. Better just accept it, says the billionaire Pritzker, who is protected by an armed security detail.
Note how Pritzker, unable to defend himself or local authorities (all Democrats), immediately shifts to an attack on President Trump. This is the Democrats’ universal refuge: they can’t defend their own policies, so they simply play to the 40% or so of the country that hates Trump.
Note, too, how pitiful Pritzker’s attack on Trump is. He accuses Trump of discriminating against cities in blue states—there are cities in red states that have high crime, too! Sure, and those cities, just like Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., have been run by Democrats for decades. What’s the point? Not to mention that Trump is hardly discriminating against a city when he tries to reduce crime there.
