Democratic U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly of Matteson has written a letter to President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence calling on them to do something about violence in Chicago, and included photos of the 38 children age 16 or younger whom her aides determined had been shot and killed in the city since February 2016.

President Trump should respond to her and tell her he is forwarding her letter to obama. Let monkey ears take care of the problem. It’s his hometown.

The patent lunacy that a construction job and strict gun laws will stop gang bangers from violence is what has led our country to the current state of affairs.

OP remarks are completely unnecessary. Are you being deliberately offensive for a reason?

Lady you should have been on obama’s case and your local leaders (which you are one). It’s not like this all just started happening in the last week or two.

Yes, Trump should immediately cease shooting people in Illinois.

Oh wait, I don’t recall the President or anyone in his administration shooting anyone in Illinois.

Maybe she should send her letter to Rahm Emanuel and join him on the Southside to talk to “the people”...

Not all Trump supporters are the same. I’ll leave it at that.

This is a place to gain a lot of goodwill. Rahm and Obama have made a mess of Chicago. If the Trump administration can fix this, or at least make it better, it won’t go unnoticed. Not to mention, it’s the right thing to do.

During his hearing, Jeff Sessions said he believes that enforcing gun laws against the gangsters in urban areas that illegally possess guns will help stop the violence. I agree. The libs just want to take the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizen’s.

Robin Kelly can shove it. Trump has been talking about the disaster of DEMOCRAT RUN CHICAGO for months.

“How can you declare that you are pro-life … yet stand idly by when life is regularly being taken from innocent children in preventable acts of gun violence?”

MORE FAKE NEWS, GUNS are Illegal in Chicago, none of this ever happened, It simply is not possible when ALL GUNS are already ILLEGAL in Chicago.
