Yael Halon - Yesterday 10:50 PM
AChicago alderman and mayoral candidate tore into fellow Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday, accusing her of emboldening criminals with her soft-on-crime policies, which he blames for the city's deadly crime wave.
Alderman Raymond Lopez, who is running to unseat the mayor in the fall elections, told "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Thursday that deadly shootings over Memorial Day weekend and other incidents offer a glimpse into the city's dangerous conditions under Lightfoot's leadership.
"Chicago is in a state of lawlessness right now thanks to the policies of Lori Lightfoot, who has enabled and emboldened criminals to feel that they can literally get away with murder on the streets of Chicago at any day of their choosing," Lopez told Fox News' Jesse Watters.
Lopez told Fox News that hours before his appearance on the program, a police officer had been shot in the city.
