<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has yet to address a string of deadly violence in Chicago, including a brutal public transit attack on Monday, where a 26-year-old woman was set on fire by a career criminal, and a deadly shooting on Friday that followed the city’s official Christmas tree lighting ceremony. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After Friday’s shooting, President Donald Trump offered to send in the National Guard. The president <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115595274389789024">wrote</a> on Truth Social on Saturday, “The people are chanting, BRING IN TRUMP!!!” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The president has now made several offers to send in the National Guard. “Pritzker needs help badly, just doesn’t know it yet. I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in DC. Chicago will be safe again,&#8221; he stated in September, per <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-vows-crime-chicago-fast-after-violent-labor/story?id=125181053">ABC News</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier this week, a 26-year-old woman was </span><a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndil/media/1419031/dl?inline"><span style="font-weight: 400;">set on fire by career criminal </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lawrence Reed on Chicago’s public transit system. Reed doused the woman in gasoline before setting her on fire, per the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/11/21/us-news/chicago-career-criminal-lawrence-reed-had-over-70-arrests-before-setting-woman-on-fire-in-train-attack/">New York Post</a>. After his arrest, Reed allegedly shouted, “burn b*tch” and “burn alive b*tch.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following the incident, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson requested expedited funding for Chicago&#8217;s transit system. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“All I can say is that as awful and as horrific as this tragedy is, this is an isolated incident,” <a href="https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-mayor-calls-cta-attack-left-woman-burned-isolated-incident">stated</a> Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. “The level of accountability that has to happen at this moment, I trust that the federal level will do its part.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Trump said on Saturday&#8217;s Truth Social post that his offer of federal support is being denied. “Governor Pritzker and the low IQ Mayor of Chicago are refusing Federal Government help for a situation that could be quickly remedied.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Friday&#8217;s shooting left eight people injured and one person dead after the city’s official Christmas tree lighting ceremony, CBS News<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/shooting-loop-state-randolph-christmas-tree-lighting-millennium-park/"> reported</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mayor Johnson said he wants parents to step up and help address gun violence. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I am the first person to recognize that we have more work to do in this city,” he said after Friday’s shooting. “We need parents, guardians, and other responsible adults to do their best to accompany young people to large, unsanctioned gatherings where weapons are likely present.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Governor JB Pritzker has yet to comment on either incident and did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Wire. </span></p>
