Chicago witnessed another brutal weekend under Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson’s leadership, with at least 19 people shot and seven fatally wounded across the city. The violence adds to a growing list of grim statistics in a city already plagued by out-of-control crime and soft-on-crime policies.
During an appearance on HBO’s Real Time Friday night, New York Times opinion writer and Duke University journalism professor Frank Bruni acknowledged that President Donald Trump is addressing a real and pressing issue: rising urban crime. Bruni conceded that crime levels in major cities—including Washington, D.C.—are too high, and that Trump is "putting his finger on a problem that people rightly care about."
