CRIME CRISIS HITS HOME: Staffer to Soft-on-Crime Reforms Advocate and Illinois Democrat Leader ROBBED at Knifepoint INSIDE His Own District Office

You truly cannot script irony like this.

 

A staffer for Illinois Senate President Don Harmon, a powerful Democrat leader who has long aligned himself with Illinois’ soft-on-crime, anti-police political machine, was robbed at knifepoint inside Harmon’s own Oak Park district office on Friday.

 

Yes, the same political class that spent years undermining law enforcement, tying police hands, and pushing “criminal justice reforms” is now shocked that violent criminals are running wild.

 

Authorities arrested 35-year-old Scott Loeffler, who allegedly walked into Harmon’s office, pulled a knife on a female staffer, and stole her iPhone, according to the Chicago Tribune.

 

The incident occurred in broad daylight, just after 11 a.m., at Harmon’s district office on West North Avenue.

 

The staffer, luckily unharmed, was simply doing her job when she let Loeffler in after believing he was a constituent.

 

As soon as the staffer briefly looked away, Loeffler allegedly whipped out a knife and grabbed her iPhone.

 

He then demanded, “Do you have a wallet?”

 

The staffer escaped into an adjoining room connected to Harmon’s campaign office, where a second assistant dialed 911. Harmon himself was reportedly in the building, just in another room, while the crime unfolded.

 

Sen. Harmon released a statement stating the robbery did not appear to be “politically motivated.”

 

“On Friday, a man entered the district office and confronted an employee with a knife. Thank God she is physically unharmed. The suspect is in custody and charged with armed robbery.

 

This incident does not appear to have been politically motivated.

 

I want to thank the Oak Park Police Department for a quick response, and I want to thank my staff for their bravery and unwavering commitment to public service. Their safety is my top priority.”
