US EditionBret Baier Confronts Gov. JB Pritzker Over Chicago Having ‘The Highest Murder Rate’
- During a Fox News interview, Fox host Bret Baier confronted Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker about Chicago having the highest murder rate among major U.S. cities, which is 17.47 per 100,000 people, according to data presented by Baier.
- Pritzker claimed that Chicago's murder rate has been cut in half, but Baier challenged him with data showing that the city leads in total murders, with 573 reported in 2024.
- Critics highlighted the absurdity of Pritzker's claim, stating that reducing a high murder rate by half still leaves Chicago with the worst figures in the country.
- Critics, including Elon Musk, labeled Pritzker's statements as misleading, noting that halving a high number still leaves Chicago at the top for murders.
