Karoline Leavitt: “Governor Pritzker has refused to pick up the phone call…”

“I would say the president certainly thinks that Governor Pritzker is not doing a very good job of managing his state, as evidenced by not only the waste, fraud and abuse but also the crime in the city of Chicago that, unfortunately, Governor Pritzker has refused to pick up the phone call phone and call the White House and ask for help on [crime in Chicago], which is something his residents want him to do but he refuses to do for political reasons. As for the specific money, we'll take a look and get you an answer. You're welcome, John. Thanks a lot. Caroline. Two questions. One is about the president's trip to Georgia tomorrow.” (30:11–30:22)
