Dick Durbin: ‘We Don’t Need Another Tweet’ from Trump on Chicago;’We Need a Helping Hand’

‘The president, as candidate and as president, continues to return to this and to poke at us’

EXCERPT:

DURBIN: "Well let me tell you, I take it personally. Because I do represent Chicago. It’s a heartbreaking situation with the gun violence. And the president, as candidate and as president, continues to return to this and to poke at us and say what are you going to do about it? Maybe I’ll send in the feds. Listen, we don’t need another tweet, we need a helping hand. We need a president who is willing to work with our police department to make it more professional, a president who is willing to work with the city to address the deep poverty in some of these neighborhoods. That is what we’re looking for. And so, I hope that the president, this administration will go beyond the tweets and do something significant."
