Longtime Democrat strategist and former Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod recently tried to warn Illinois Governor JB Pritzker not to play politics on the issue of crime in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Axelrod is from Chicago, so he knows how bad things are there. Also, as a political strategist, Axelrod knows how bad it looks for Democrats to appear to be pro-crime. He knows this is toxic.<\/p>\n

He is very calm as he goes through all of this but you can tell that he is about a minute away from busting out and yelling at the camera \u2013 WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!<\/p>\n

David Axelrod Tells Pritzker What \u2018Right Answer\u2019 He Should Give Trump About Chicago<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former President Barack Obama\u2019s chief campaign strategist David Axelrod appeared on CNN\u2019s \u201cThe Arena\u201d Wednesday and advised Democrat Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker that his message to President Donald Trump should be to take all the \u201cappropriate help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Trump\u2019s suggestion on Aug. 22 that he would consider sending the National Guard to crack down on Chicago\u2019s crime, Pritzker and Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson have repeatedly pushed back against the aid that Trump is offering. While discussing Pritzker\u2019s \u201cpolitical performance\u201d from Tuesday, CNN\u2019s Kasie Hunt asked Axelrod for his reaction and mentioned how the Democrat governor\u2019s response to Trump appears to set up his potential presidential campaign for 2028.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, and look, I have a lot of respect for JB Pritzker, but I think there is \u2014 I would be careful about playing 2028 politics on this issue because the right answer is, \u2018We\u2019ll take all the help we can get as long as it\u2019s appropriate help, as long as it\u2019s stuff that will really help.\u2019 I mean, these National Guardsmen aren\u2019t even trained to do that work. They\u2019re not authorized to do that work,\u201d Axelrod said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you know, \u2018Send us the resources that we need. We want to work with you. If there are people doing violent crimes here who are illegal immigrants, we want them out of our city. We\u2019ll work with you on that.\u2019 I think that\u2019s the appropriate position to take,\u201d Axelrod added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s the clip:<\/p>\n

NEW: Even CNN’s David Axelrod *WARNS* Dems against “playing ’28 politics” by fighting TRUMP on crime crackdown<\/p>\n

“The right answer is: ‘We’ll take all the help we can get \u2014 as long as it’s appropriate [and] stuff that will really help \u2026 Send us the resources that we need. We\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/7VJxv7DWR2<\/a><\/p>\n

Pritzker is handling this so badly. He could have been a hero to the people of Chicago but he apparently feels more loyalty to the Democrat base which wants total resistance to all things Trump.<\/p>\n
