J.B. Pritzker has joined Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson in blaming Republicans for violent crime in the city. A Chicago Republican says the issue is the Democrats\u2019 \u201cbad policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker said there is more violence in Chicago because Republicans defunded community violence interruption programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou end up with, and the study from Northwestern shows it about Illinois, you end up with more violent crime,\u201d Pritzker said. \u201cIt\u2019s Republicans that have caused this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor referred to a Northwestern University study published last year that found that individuals who completed the full Chicago Real Economic Destiny Program were 73% less likely to have an arrest for a violent crime in the two years following enrollment than those who did not participate.<\/p>\n<p>The Northwestern researchers also found that the rate of firearms victimization remained statistically unchanged during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fauci-urges-booster-shots-for-people-with-weakened-immune-systems\/\" title=\"Fauci Urges Booster Shots For People With Weakened Immune Systems\">study period<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker announced $100 million in private funding from civic groups in an attempt to prevent more violence. The state budget includes $180 million in taxpayer funds for violence intervention and youth summer jobs programs.<\/p>\n<p>On several occasions, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed Republicans for the issues around crime for what he said was decades of community disinvestment.<\/p>\n<p>South Side GOP Chairman Devin Jones is the 18th Ward Republican Committeeman. He said the criticism was strange in a city which has no Republican elected officials at any level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue is the bad policies of the city of Chicago, of Cook County and the state of Illinois,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent criticism of Republicans by Pritzker and Johnson came after more than 100 people were shot in Chicago from July 4 through July 8.<\/p>\n<p>Jones said the GOP is not to blame for violent crime in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this is a Brandon Johnson and his progressive allies issue and not an issue of Republicans or some other boogeyman party. This is their problem. It is his [Johnson\u2019s] fault and four of his predecessors. This all rests with them,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago Republican responds to accusations from mayor and governor, stating that the root cause of violent crime in the city is due to the Democrats&#8217; ineffective policies.
