Rod Blagojevich: ‘Most Chicagoans Have Common Sense,’ They Would Welcome the National Guard

RUSH EXCERPT:

BLAGOJEVICH: "I think most chicagoans would welcome this. In fact, be excited, enthusiastic about it. The fact of the matter is Chicago’s a very dangerous city. Crime is high here, higher than in New York and in Los Angeles, and here’s a fact that’s really chilling. Our mayor tries to say homicides are down in Chicago erik but the fact is up to August the 16th, 254 people have been murdered. When you get up every morning in Chicago, you can say to yourself, someone’s going to be murdered today. And you can honestly say that in 8 out of so cases, 80% of those victims are going to be black. And what’s interesting about our governor, pritzker, white, liberal, limousine, rich people who live in upscale neighborhoods, they would never tolerate this if this were happening in their neighborhoods. They’d be shouting for the national gad and screaming – guard. It’s hi to hypocrisy, and there’s a touch of racism."
