Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) continues to defend her racist policy with reporters. Speaking to “Sway” host Kara Swisher in an interview published in The New York Times on Monday, Lightfoot explained her outrageous decision to only accept interviews from non-White journalists.
“I would absolutely do it again,” Lightfoot told Swisher, who is, ironically, a White journalist. “I’m unapologetic about it because it spurred a very important conversation, a conversation that needed to happen, that should have happened a long time ago.”
Pressed by Swisher to explain further, Lightfoot continued:
“I’m a Black woman mayor. I’m the mayor of the third-largest city in the country. Obviously I have a platform, and it’s important to me to advocate on things that I believe are important…The media is in a time of incredible upheaval and disruption, but our city hall press corps looks like it’s 1950 or 1970.”

At that point, why talk at all-
Just pre-print a sheet of your typical BS and send it out
Racism and bigotry today seems to be 100% a LW Democrat thing. I’m still unclear where they are trying to go with this. Destruction of the nation? Elimination of the USA as a world power? A Coup to topple the constitutional Republic? Are they actually foreign actors working for Russia or China?
“I’m the mayor of the third-largest city in the country.”
Is she lamenting she could be mayor of the Second largest or THE Largest city in the country if it weren’t for Racism?
I’m trying to catch on to their logic here?!!
Because she is afraid of tough questions from conservative white journalists.
The far left black reporters have been giving her their usual softball questions.
Being a liberal means never having to say you’re sorry.
She did start a conversation, but she is deaf to what they are. She has left no doubt by outing herself as a prejudiced, self-centered, racist. Also, I will not rush to the defense of the her fellow party, media members who are the target of her racism. They helped promote this type of racism against innocent others, let them deal with it. Bet many of them would agree with her about their unconscious, systemic, privileged racism.
Because the elites won’t suffer much since they’re, well, elites. Dacha for me, gulag for you.
When you don’t feel enough racism and oppression, you create situations that foster it, so you can get your fix.
I’m not racist, but, if I were to be anything regarding Lightfoot, it would be “ugly-ism”, because, she’s ugly on the inside and on the outside.
Chicago gets what it deserves and votes for.
“,,, trying to go with this. Destruction of the nation?”
that’s it, except the people behind this are not ready to claim this based on where they are in the revolutionary cycle. The only difference between them and Charlie Manson is that the latter is dead.
After the 2020 (s)election, I am not willing to accept that the majority of people in Chicago would vote for her. She had help.
“I’m still unclear where they are trying to go with this. “
There is no single defined goal, in my estimation.
I think the financial backers wish to bring America to heel in order to implement global government. The communist takeover of our educational system has yielded a crop of Americans who hate America, and will not be satisfied with anything short of complete destruction of the political structure of America, installing a communist government in it’s place.
The problem for the financial backers is that complete destruction of the political structure of America will result in upheaval in the markets, and societal breakdown making the country more unlivable than it already is now. Additionally, once a country goes down the total revolution trail, there is no guarantee what will emerge from the process.
That (rhymes with witch) needs be exiled to Somalia.
The BeetleJuice demon is 2nd only to the vile, demonic Botoxian as one of Satan’s finest in this era. Just like their big daddy; they’ve come to steal, kill and destroy.
That's not your job, Ms Black Woman Mayor.
Her nickname on FR is Groot. But she reminds me more of Admiral Ackbar.
Old-time liberal: “Racism is bad.”
Modern liberal: “Racism is bad. Unless I do it. Then it’s actually a good thing.”
