      Ted Cruz Retweeted Lori Lightfoot

      1/x Mayor, your anger is misplaced. Virtually every year, Chicago has the most murders of any city in America. In 2017, the top five were: Chicago (650 murders), Baltimore (343), Philadelphia (317), New York (290), and Los Angeles (286). https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/02/19/homicides-toll-big-u-s-cities-2017/302763002/ …https://twitter.com/LoriLightfoot/status/1168689083478097922 …

      Ted Cruz added,

      Lori LightfootVerified account @LoriLightfoot
      60% of illegal firearms recovered in Chicago come from outside IL—mostly from states dominated by coward Republicans like you who refuse to enact commonsense gun legislation. Keep our name out of your mouth. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1168602589254029313 … pic.twitter.com/pr613A3dpf

      2/x All five of those cities have had Democratic mayors for decades and aggressive gun control policies—none seems to be working. Your explanation (“blame Indiana!”) doesn’t hold water. There are 27 states with GOP governors. Chicago is not alone in having neighboring red states.

      3/x But Chicago’s murder totals are often DOUBLE the next closest city. So how do you explain the big cities in red states, without aggressive gun control laws, where murder rates are MUCH lower than Chicago?

          4/x Maybe, rather than getting angry when others point out the tragically high murder rate in Chicago, you put aside the partisan talking points & the failed gun-control policies Chicago has pursued for decades. Instead, lock up the violent criminals who are committing murder...

          5/x ...PREVENT felons & fugitives from illegally buying firearms, and ALLOW law-abiding citizens (who are right now obeying Chicago’s prohibition) to exercise their constitutional right to protect their own lives and their families.

          Because he doesn't understand that a city of 3 million people will have a higher number of murders than a city.of 200 thousand people? Damn we have really dumbed things down.

          Please don't indulge this fallacy. If he looks at state rates, they are dominated by southern states with little gun control measures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_homicide_rate … This whole argument is a regurgitation of white flight logic. Tired and out of date.
