'We have to fight back for this city because we can't allow what's happening here to become the mainstay for every neighborhood and for every iconic part of Chicago, which is overrun by the homeless, overrun by gangs, overrun by criminality, and what should be a welcoming city to all the good law-abiding people who want to make this home,' Ald. Lopez said.
Ald. Raymond Lopez called out Mayorfor the spiraling crisis on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" as she seeks re-election in less than two weeks.
"But making O'Hare Airport a homeless shelter for hundreds of people on a daily basis, when we're trying to welcome people here, when we're trying to encourage tourism, bring back the business clientele, bring back families to our city, and to only have them greeted by hundreds of homeless who have mental health issues, maybe armed, maybe not even be clothed, that's not something that institutes a lot of confidence in our mayor, in our city," he continued.
The data comes as Lightfoot's popularity slips amid the crime crisis, with a BSP poll suggesting she currently ranks third against her opponents in her bid for re-election. "I love Chicago with all my heart, and it absolutely breaks my heart to see Chicago essentially turn into the world's largest open-air mental institution," Kelly told Ashley Strohmier on Thursday. "Now, it's not only the homeless people… but it's… violent repeat offenders right back out on the street, and the law-abiding citizens are forced to just go along with this as if it's normal.
