According to investigative reporting, McGee, a business analyst, was sitting on the train when 50-year-old Lawrence Reed, a career criminal with <em>72 prior arrests<\/em>, allegedly doused her in gasoline and lit her ablaze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside Edition\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@InsideEdition\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"trump-blasts-chicago-leaders-woman-fire-on-train\" title=\"Trump Blasts Chicago Leaders After Woman Is Set on Fire on Train\">report<\/a> describes McGee engulfed in flames, desperately trying to smother the fire by rolling on the floor of the train before collapsing on the platform as bystanders rushed to help. She suffered burns over 60% of her body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump didn\u2019t mince words about how someone with that record was walking free: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re ready to go. We\u2019ve been moving toward Chicago\u2026 It\u2019s horrible what\u2019s happening,&#8221; he said.  &#8220;We could make Chicago a safe city in a period of four weeks\u2026 eight weeks\u2026 nine weeks, ten weeks.
