WASHINGTON DC (Yaakov M / VINnews) — CNN’s Jake Tapper confronted Democrat Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker on why he paid more attention to the July 4th mass shooting in Highland Park, yet ignores daily shootings in Chicago which cause more deaths on a weekly basis.

Tapper observed that “the fourth of July weekend death toll in Chicago surpassed the Highland Park shooting.”

Tapper pointed out that Pritzker visited Highland Park after the shooting and then read a statement from a community leader:

“If you are in a position of power, you must make sure that the same energy and the same effort that you put in one area is put in the other. I will not visit an area like Highland Park and then not show up to the other end of the spectrum.”

Tapper added that “one parent told CNN that they see the difference in how black and brown children are treated all the time.”

Pritzker replied that he did not pay more attention to Highland Park, and added that the nation may be focused more on that shooting in part because of the type of weapon used. (As though it matters to murder victims and their families which type of gun they were shot with.)

בקיצור, He was all over the place with some sort of reasoning, but never answered it to most anyone’s satisfaction. Typical corrupt politician.

Pritzker is all about hate for non-Democrats.

Having lived in Illinois and based on knowing high-ranking Illinois Democrats who worked with Pritzker and others such as Madigan, my sense is that they will do anything, including lying and cheating, to increase their political power and support for theis positions no matter how much the people of the state are harmed.

This fat privileged white pig, Democrat J.B. Pritzker, is just another proof that the blacks are the dumbest most stupid voters in the nation. They keep blindly voting for these WHITE racist democrats to help them stay alive.

The last statement in this article is very misleading yeah he says the type of weapon used but then follows that immediately by saying that is was also because it was a single individual who did all the shootings which makes all the difference

Talk about bias
