Gov. J.B. Pritzker to NBC Reporter in Chicago: ‘You Can See that This City Is Actually Operating Extraordinarily Well’

EXCERPT:

PRITZKER: “Look, remember that National Guard are trained extraordinarily well, I might add, to go to war. And they’re terrific. I mean, these are the men and women who live in our state, our National Guard are. They are often police officers and first responders who also are National Guard because, remember, National Guard are part-time. So, they do tremendous work, but we don’t call them in unless there is truly an emergency, and there is not one. You — one of the reasons that we’re standing right here is you can see that this city is actually operating extraordinarily well and in a much better position from a crime perspective than it was four years ago.”
