DeSantis' visit is causing a stir in Chicago's mayoral race, as the Chicago FOP has endorsed Paul Vallas.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke to Chicago police officers Monday afternoon at an invitation-only event for members of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police in west suburban Elmhurst.
Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey – who ran unsuccessfully against Gov. JB Pritzker last year – was present for the event. So was DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick. Vallas' criticism of DeSantis comes after rival mayoral candidate and U.S. Rep. Jesus"Chuy" Garcia had demanded Vallas denounce the FOP for inviting DeSantis.
"DeSantis's dangerous and hateful agenda has no place in Illinois. Banning books, playing politics with people's lives, and censoring history are antithetical to who we are," Pritzker said.
