Hypocrisy of leaders' criticism

Posted August 12, 2019 1:00 am

Is this hypocrisy at its finest? Lori Lighfoot blames Trump for the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and the shootings in Dayton, Ohio. Maybe we should all pay careful attention to the rhetoric that is growing.

J.B. Pritzker doesn't mention the deaths in the warehouse in Aurora that killed five people or the one at Northern University that killed five.

These are two people that the people of Illinois elected that are officials in the state of Illinois. Lori Lightfoot, next time you pass a mirror, look and learn, as the city of Chicago just had 59 people shot last weekend, so stop blaming Trump and get to work on a city, Chicago, that you were elected to represent and maybe stop pointing your finger. Oh yeah and pass that on to the newly elected governor.
