That's an insane thing to say, not to undermine the absolute shltshow Chicago has become crime-wise. 
Well, I live in Iowa.
(On a side note, it is HILARIOUS to see the change in tone regarding Iowa with some red avatars on this site ... in 2012, it was an educated, enlightened state of White liberals that wouldn't succumb to the DUMBNESS of the GOP, and now it is this northern extension of Missouri and a wasteland of *WORKING CLASS WHITES,* which is hilarious given the huge percent of people with a college education here.)
Anywho, RE: ag, I have never bought into that bullshlt. There are tens of millions of people in the Republican Party. I do not believe JFK was complicit in the racism of the Southern Democrats, for example, because he largely stood up to them. Similarly, a Republican who is a Republican for any number of reasons but still stands up to the elements of his or her party that he finds repulsive - ya know, actually doing something to try to undermine their influence in the party - is not "guilty" of anything.
