Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donalds joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to give his take on why Democratic leaders including Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are opposed to President Trump sending National Guard troops to the Windy City to get crime under control.
“They oppose Trump just because they got to oppose Trump everywhere because they’re looking for something to be able to run on next year in a midterm cycle. That’s really what’s going on. So whether it’s the National Guard, that’s why the Democrats all of a sudden are clamoring for the Epstein files to be released. Because when Joe Biden was president, they didn’t want to release them. But now they want to because they think that hurts Donald Trump. And so it’s not even about their own people. It’s how do we oppose Trump so that we can find a way to run against him? But the point that Stephen A is making is correct, is that this is local leadership that has been derelict in their duty for decades. This didn’t just happen last year. This has been a decades long thing. And so like I think as Newsom tried to think he was cute and was saying that, you know, some of the cities with the worst crime are in red states. And I’m thinking like Newsom is a fool because those cities are run by Democrats top to bottom. And that’s the issue.”
