Murder victim's brother rips Lori Lightfoot for saying Chicago's crime problem is 'manufactured'

The brother of a murder victim is harshly criticizing former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot for saying Chicago's crime crisis has been "manufactured."

Speaking on CNN's "The Arena" in early September, Lightfoot argued President Donald Trump manufactured a crime crisis in Chicago to give him a pretext to send in the National Guard, as he has threatened.
 
"This was never about violent crime. It's not going to be about violent crime," Lightfoot said. "I don't think we should pretend that this manufactured crisis and his attempt to provoke people in Chicago is a legitimate exercise of power. It is not."

"[Trump] will not do any of these things because this is not about violent crime, it's about something else.
