CHICAGO — Governor Pritzker is proclaiming that public safety is under attack by the Trump administration. Speaking in Chicago on Thursday, the governor said the President is proposing the elimination of all federal violence intervention funding. Pritzker said people will die if Trump cuts anti-violence efforts.
“Donald Trump is OK if people in Chicago die. Why? Because he wants to cut life-saving programs, that’s what’s going to happen. People will die if we cut violence intervention programs,” Pritzker said.
He also accused Trump of making these kinds of cuts in order to give massive tax cuts to wealthy people in America.
