Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez is calling for the National Guard to be deployed to help relieve the city’s overburdened police force. Speaking on Newsmax TV’s Newsline on Monday, Lopez criticized local leaders for relying on symbolic policies while violence persists across Chicago neighborhoods.
Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez delivered a scathing critique of the modern Democratic Party during an appearance on Newsmax’s “Carl Higbie Frontline” Friday, warning that the party has strayed far from its roots as a champion of the working class. Lopez expressed frustration that Democrats, like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, are more focused on using President Donald Trump as a political scapegoat than addressing real issues plaguing cities like Chicago.
