A prominent Democratic leader on the south side of Chicago thinks President Trump should send in the National Guard — and says “probably half” of his colleagues agree, but are too afraid to say it.
Raymond Lopez, the Democratic alderman for Chicago’s 15th Ward, said the city would be foolish to pass up free help the White House is offering to help clean up the city’s crime-plagued streets once and for all.
“This is a very real war that we are fighting here, and we need every tool box to win it,” Lopez told The Post.
