To be fair, she's not wrong. Gov Pritzker cares for every single citizen of Chicago and wants nothing but to help them. Donald doesn't care one bit about the citizens of Chicago unless he can get something from them.

We want disarm? Can the man not express a simple thought coherently? Is he going to disarm Israel for killing more Palestinians today and for saying they won't let humanitarian aid in.

Then the next reporter should either defer to ABC until the accept ABC's question or they should ask the question for ABC.

IMO the APP are guilty of betraying Canada but I don't know that they've committed any crimes
IMO, we should protest peacefully
Sign the #foreverCanadian petition
Sign the upcoming petition to stop UCP funding of private education
Go to protests against the UCP, if you can
Support the unions

Donny actually means - Donny is running scared of President Xi. Donny is having many bad moments. Sales of adult Depends to the WH have skyrocketed.
