Violence<\/h2>\n<p>Democratic Alderman Raymond Lopez of \u200bChicago told \u201cAmerica\u2062 Reports\u201d co-host Sandra Smith on Friday that no matter how much Vice President Kamala Harris may laugh at the violence plaguing his city,\u2062 to him it\u2019s no laughing matter.<\/p>\n<p>Harris \u2062was in Chicago for\u200d the \u200bEverytown for Gun Safety\u200c Action\u200c Fund\u2019s

Second Amendment case.\">gun \u200dviolence<\/a> in the \u200bcity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow are you thinking about this issue right now in this moment?\u201d Harris\u2062 was\u2063 asked.<\/p>\n<p>In what has\u200d become the vice president\u2019s go-to move when asked a <a

title=\"Chicago Democrat criticizes Kamala Harris for joking about Democratic success despite the prevalent issues of crime, gangs, and illegal immigration, emphasizing that it is a serious matter.\">potentially\u2063 awkward question<\/a>, Harris laughed in response and said \u201cvote.gov,\u201d the federal government\u2019s site for voter registration information \u2014 an apparent call from the vice\u2063 president to Democrat voters to register and vote.<\/p>\n<p>Given\u200d that Chicago has been governed by Democratic mayors since 1931, it was not immediately\u200d clear how Harris expected more Democratic voters to change anything about the city\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez didn\u2019t seem to\u200d appreciate \u2063Harris\u2019s response either.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a laughing matter and I don\u2019t find\u200b it funny one bit, having had to comfort families who have \u2062been torn apart by \u200cgun\u200c violence, gang violence, the word no Democrat ever seems to want to say\u200c out loud, and the drug-fueled violence,\u201d he told Smith when she asked why the Democrats \u2063would \u201chighlight\u201d a city like Chicago that has experienced \u201csuch clear problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s touting Democrat success in the state of Illinois, city of Chicago,\u201d Lopez said ironically. \u201cWell look at the \u200csuccess we\u2019ve had: Crime is out of control, immigration is now at our feet because of the\u200b border crisis which she has \u200dignored for the \u200dpast two years since she\u200c was named the \u200cborder czar, and \u200chere we are trying to address this in a way that makes sense for our future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2023\/08\/11\/this-is-not-a-laughing-matter-chicago-dem-rips-kamala-harris-over-crime-migrants\/\"
