Chicago’s air quality ranks as worst in the world thanks to the smoke from resurgent Canadian wildfires, CBS News reports, giving Jim Jordan another thing to illogically claim is hypocritical about “Democrat-run cities” as he does with gun violence. Chicago’s Air Quality Index hit 228 Tuesday afternoon, putting it in the “purple” zone signifying “very unhealthy” air quality.
As Tuesday carried on, Detroit overtook Chicago as the world’s worst air designee as the day went on. Wisconsin and Iowa have already issued warnings for poor air quality, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul warned her state’s residents that air quality will return in the coming week.
