Chicago mayor derides Ivanka Trump's 'nonsense' tweets about gun violence in city
Fox News ^ | August 06 2019 | Louis Casiano

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot criticized White House adviser Ivanka Trump on Tuesday over the first daughter's tweets about weekend violence in the city.

In a pair of tweets, Trump tweeted about the city's gun violence epidemic in light of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. Chicago reported 55 people shot, seven fatally, over the weekend.

“As we grieve over the evil mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, let us not overlook that Chicago experienced its deadliest weekend of the year. With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy City — and little national outrage or media coverage — we mustn’t become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day," Trump wrote.

Leave it to Faux Snooze to inform us of any breaking news from Lori Lightfoot up in Chicago. Whatever happened to the Jussi Smo- lett fake MAGA beating investigation, anyway? Is he a fugitive? Like a runaway?

White supremacy, like all other forms of terrorism, is an evil that must be destroyed.

What is white supremacy? Think about that phrase. Isn’t it racist to speak the assumption that white people are supreme, even if advocating for the destruction of such “supremacy?”

Why not simply reject racism and neo-Nazism?

Interesting. Blame the messenger rather than fixing Chicago. Whether or not the mayor agrees with Ivanka the truth still remains that that city alone has the equivalent of a mass shooting every weekend.

The mayor didn’t offer “correct” facts. All she did was say the location was wrong. Police chief said it was worst weekend this year.

Trump was right. Mayor is a coward

Mayor “Groot” is living proof that Progtard DildoCrats will consistently nominate and elect candidates with room temperature IQs and a complete lack of ethics as long as the correct demographic diversity blocks are checked on their applications.

Progtard DildoCrats HATE the United States of America and the Constitution upon which it was founded.

She’s got an ego problem.....besides being a gross social misfit.

Her statement about Ivanka is an expression of her self-promoting egotism.

Her religiously-tinged self-righteousness has no place in politics.

She needs to be reminded that she IS MERELY A CHICAGO MAYOR.

That’s nothing to brag about.

And its not a platform for pontificating about issues that do not concern her.

She’s a social misfit so others can and will disagree with her.

Simply b/c they all start from different premises, and with a greater rightness than her in every case.

She’s saddled with being a social misfit....that perverts her thinking bigtime.

You forgot lesbian-progressive-first-black-female mayor.

She's in four protected classes and you criticizing her makes you a homophobe-racist-anti-black-white-privileged-white-cracker.

The mayor and her 7 foot girlfriend. Perfect representative for the evil that is Chicago.

Notice how she conveniently neglected to mention the exact number of people killed and wounded.

Lefties are desperate for power. Desperate Democrats badly crave power AND control, and they’re willing to do anything to get it.

They will savagely strip innocent patriots of their rights in order to feel the thrill of controlling people.

For the left, a little crotch action will always supersede the Constitution.

Patriots know these sub-human morons will stoop to any lengths and will regurgitate the most preposterous lies
to advance their pathetic political ambitions.

The left knows they can’t gut the 2nd ....so, in their infantile minds,a pile of bodies as an opportunity.

Without proof, they keep saying “words”, especially from a president they despise, are violence.....

Notice the weirdo lefties rarely cite the left-wing violence of Antifa.

The left fights hard for “rights” not even mentioned in the Constitution – abortion, health care, a “free” college education –
than those intrinsic rights specifically singled out for protection from government infringement in the Bill of Rights.
