Kim Foxx is right. The race for Cook County state’s attorney is not just about Jussie Smollett

“I want to be clear,” Foxx said during a Democratic candidate debate. “This race is not about one case.”

You gave a break to a TV star who faked a racist, homophobic hate crime in Chicago and blamed it on Trump supporters, a wild, irresponsible claim that stoked racial and political tensions. He had Obama White House friends. One called you on his behalf. He was indicted on 16 counts, but you cut him loose and dropped the charges, and lied about “recusing” yourself.

I agree that this race is about more than Smollett.

It’s about people in Cook County who aren’t TV stars, who don’t have clout, who are hurt and shot down and killed by thugs who’ve been released on bond for other gun crimes. The victims aren’t rich, they don’t have influential friends. They don’t live on the Gold Coast or in Lincoln Park, or in Wilmette or River Forest.

Most victims are black and brown and poor. They live in the forgotten neighborhoods, where the TV camera crews go to set up in front of the home of a grieving mother who wonders why her son was cut down.

They’re not Smollett types. The victims are the byproducts of a liberal criminal justice reform policy called decarceration and the kind of bail bond reform pushed by Foxx, her political patron Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, and go-along-get-along Tim Evans, the chief judge in Cook County.

They’re all on the team. And decarceration is their motto.

Decarceration is about reducing the populations of jails, a progressive prosecutor policy being pushed by leftist billionaire George Soros in jurisdictions across the country. Illinois election records show a Soros-funded political action committee just dropped $2 million on a Foxx-friendly PAC to get her through the March 17 Democratic primary.

Voters need to pay close attention to who they are electing as local prosecutors since sinister George Soros is intent on setting criminals free to wreak havoc on American cities.

For those who do not live in Chicago, John Kass-hole is a fake conservative who is used by the failing Chicago Tribune to sell newspapers. Kasshole supported Lori Lighthead for Mayor and is good friends Valerie Jarrett, Obama's CEO. Kasshole plays a good game to keep deceiving unsuspecting readers.
