Q "Real quick on crime and another topic. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot appeared to pass some blame onto retailers for these smash-and-grabs, saying that she’s disappointed that these stores are not putting security officers in place, having working cameras, and chaining up high-end bags."
Lightfoot doesn't blame retailers.

"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — congresswoman — said earlier this week also that she doubted allegations of organized retail thefts. She believed it was a Walgreens in California that cited it, but the data didn’t back it up. Does the President believe that organized retail theft is really happening? And should it be on the stores themselves to take action to prevent it?"
Is there another source besides a right-wing rag? Just because someone asks a question and frames a narrative doesn't make it factual.
