Conservatives Refuse To Fight Foxx
Several weeks ago, the country’s most corrupt prosecutor stood before the media and a paying crowd to deliver a speech that was nothing more than a dare to the impotent and windy collection of talking heads in Illinois claiming to be conservatives.
The theme of the speech was ostensibly to announce Foxx would not be seeking a third term, but Foxx’s speech was, in truth, a declaration of her unbridled legal and political power. Foxx’s conviction in power she wields is so immense, Foxx fears little from any opposition nor any accountability for the rampant lawlessness and deceit of her administration.
“I leave now with my head held high, with my heart full,” Foxx said as she concluded a speech to the City Club of Chicago.
Full of what, one wonders, for the signs of Foxx’s role in the destruction of Chicago is no secret. Day after day, media outlet CWB Chicago chronicles the violent crime perpetuated on citizens by offenders who have been released from custody by Foxx’s revolving door policies, her attacks on the police that have left morale abysmally low, and the repeated lies she has employed to justify her actions. Seasoned prosecutors are rushing out the door of the criminal courts building, many of them leaving farewell missives condemning Foxx and her policies.
Nevertheless, Foxx all but taunted those gathered at the City Club luncheon to challenge her. There was no shouting down of Foxx by the attendees, no calls for impeachment, no demands for federal investigation.
Compare the non-response of Chicagoans to Foxx with the cities and states which have challenged other Soros backed prosecutors like Foxx. In San Francisco, voters got rid of Chesa Boudin in a recall election. Missourians just drove out Kim Gardner. Maryland prosecutor Marilyn Mosby has been indicted. Other Soros acolytes are being ripped to shreds. In Chicago, however, Foxx has faced no such scrutiny. No movement has surfaced that in any way might remove Foxx, who is by any objective standard the worst of all the Soros-backed candidates now calling themselves prosecutors.
On the contrary, Foxx’s speech exuded a strong conviction that she is untouchable, proven truthful in the pathetically weak responses to her speech. As if trained in some poorly constructed television drama, the remnants of the conservative movement fell back to the Jussie Smollett scandal to attack Foxx, refusing yet again to address the true evidence and magnitude of her corruption: The release of convicted criminals from prison on the claim that they were framed by the police.
The Smollett scandal is a jaywalking violation in comparison to the flimsy, clearly biased decision to release some 200 convicted criminals, many of them charged with committing the most heinous crimes imaginable, primarily murder and rape. Individually, the exonerations reveal a broken, corrupt prosecutor’s office. Collectively, the exonerations paint a macabre, dire breakdown in the justice system. Foxx’s decisions in these cases are crying out for investigation from conservatives, the media, and elected officials, but each exoneration has been met with a chilly silence.
Even after Foxx’s top prosecutors testified under oath that they believed several of the men released during Foxx’s watch were guilty, conservatives have largely ignored the entire issue. Though a tranche of evidence exists, most of which has been revealed in federal court, that could, and should, bring Foxx down, conservatives walk daintily around the one-billion-dollar elephant in the room. In place of raising the issue of exonerations, Chicago’s conservatives tossing up tepid arguments that shift back to the Smollett scandal Foxx has so successfully dodged.
Earth to the right: That ship has sailed.
In what can only be a sign of Chicago’s now inevitable demise, mayor elect Brandon Johnson responded to Foxx’s speech, specifically praising Foxx for “overturning nearly 200 wrongful convictions.” Another taunting of the right, Johnson’s statement suggests Chicagoans should get ready for the tax hikes that will be used to settle the endless exoneration claims the right has so steadfastly refused to investigate, all the while claiming they are pro-police.
Johnson’s praise should send chills down the spine of conservatives and taxpayers, for the radical takeover is now virtually complete. Cook County Godfather Toni Preckwinkle controls the County Board. Preckwinkle’s minion, Kim Foxx, maintains control over the prosecutor’s office. Governor Pritzker dances to Preckwinkle’s tunes. Recently, former ethics chief for Foxx, April Perry, was nominated for a position as the U.S. Attorney for Chicago, thereby assuring, if appointed, Foxx or her clan will never face any official Justice Department probe.
The only position yet to be filled is the city’s top lawyer, the Corporation Counsel. Based on Johnson’s history and his response to Foxx’s speech, the final sign of Chicago’s transformation into the center of bringing down the entire republic could be complete if Johnson appoints a progressive poser as the city’s top attorney. Should Johnson appoint a far-left ideologue as Corporation Counsel, the floodgates will open to massive settlements in which one hardworking police officer after another will face ludicrous allegations of corruption or coercion from accused killers or rapists.
Those settlements will be used to further drive policies and media narratives against the police. Once this begins, officers will be handcuffed by more reform measures, sending many of them to the exit door in the same manner so dedicated prosecutors have stormed out of Foxx’s nightmarish State’s Attorney’s Office.
One conservative response stands out above all others. That would be conservative Dan Proft, host of the radio program Chicago’s Morning Answer. Not only did he refuse to address the real corruption in Foxx’s office, her became a virtual apologist for it.
“No one has any problem with exonerating people who are wrongly convicted,” Proft said. “That should happen. No one argues that there have been instances where police, Chicago police, have behaved badly. No one argues that there are not instances where we've had Chicago police officers who are corrupt, who are racist…”
Ya see?
How about the instances in which Foxx’s top prosecutors admitted the killers were guilty yet freed them from behind bars anyway? How’s that for “behaving badly”?
Police in Chicago learned long ago that despite all the rhetoric for the poser conservatives in Chicago they are on their own.
It’s not just the police. Has it dawned on anyone in the conservative movement exactly how it came to be that America’s justice system was coopted by the radical left and runs around manufacturing false cases against a former president as a means of preventing him from seeking office again? The manufactured crimes by the media against GOP officials and their supporters was a strategy perfected long ago in Chicago. Now it is a Frankenstein monster roaming the entire country.
And all the conservatives in Chicago can do is rant about Jussie Smollett.
