FROM FOX NEWS: Chicago Democrat Raymond Lopez tore into his own party for turning a blind eye to crime, accusing leaders like Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson of whitewashing the issue while standing in the way of President Donald Trump’s crackdown.
“History will prove the Democratic Party wrong in this moment,” Lopez said Monday on “Fox & Friends.”
Lopez, who has represented Chicago’s 15th Ward as an alderman since 2015, warned that electing “left of left” leaders like Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will only lead Democrats further down the wrong path and tarnish their image.
“If we want to be of relevance, we need to get back to the center,” Lopez advised.
“There are very few of us who are standing up to say, ‘No, we do not need to move the goalpost that far to the left to be relevant,’ and, unfortunately, we have a small segment of our electorate who thinks that that is the right way to go,” he said.
