What about all those thousands of people whose lives have been impacted by gun violence or the lives that were lost last year when she could have had help from the federal government? Won\u2019t talk about it, won\u2019t apologize for it, and just wishes to sweep it under the rug as though it never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Host Jessee Watters then asked, \u201cAre you saying more children in Chicago have died from bullets than have died from COVID-19?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Lopez answered, \u201cMore children have been victimized by gun violence in the city of Chicago than have been killed by COVID in the entire state of Illinois in the last year.
