(CHICAGO)  Southwest side Congressman Dan Lipinski is in a tough March 20th Democratic primary fight with challenger Marie Newman.  However, Lipinski doesn’t believe he’s as vulnerable as Newman thinks.

The Left thinks Lipinski is vulnerable because he’s too far Right and Bernie Sanders of all people carried the Third District in the 2016 primary.

Lipinski argues they’ve got that wrong, saying “Bernie won the district because he stood for middle class Americans, working men and women against these bad trade deals and I think that’s exactly why I have been successful because I have never lost that focus.”

While taping Connected to Chicago for Sunday night at 7, Lipinski had a new idea to protect people from the mentally ill who shouldn’t have guns. Create a new kind of order of protection that people can go to court to get to disarm them.
