Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot allegedly called the owner of a high-end exotic car dealership an "idiot" during a heated meeting after the store was targeted in an armed smash-and-grab robbery, according to a report.
Lightfoot allegedly "got into a fight and walked out" of Gold Coast Exotic Motor Cars during a meeting with store owner Joe Perillo, according to sources who spoke to CWB Chicago.
One of the sources told the outlet the mayor called Perillo an "idiot" as she left the showroom, though Perillo told Fox News he did not hear her call him that.
"I’m not aware that she called me an idiot… at least she did not say that to me," Perillo said about the conversation.
"In her heart, I believe she is trying her best. That said, we are both passionate individuals and have different views of how to deal with theft. I can report that there was nothing I said that in any way was foolish! I simply wanted to know what her future plans were going forward!"
Days after Lightfoot met with Perillo, an inspector with the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection also visited the store and ticketed them with six violations, CWB Chicago reported.
The inspector cited Gold Coast on Dec. 17 for violations such as employees and a customer not wearing face masks, for "storing, receiving, possessing, selling nineteen bottles of liquor," and for "interfering with or obstructing the commissioner’s designee in the performance of duties," CWB Chicago reported.
"It was unrelated to the mayor’s meeting with Mr. Perillo," a Lightfoot spokesperson told the outlet.
A Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection spokesperson told Fox News on Thursday that an "anonymous complaint about a public health order violation" at Gold Coast spurred the inspection.

Blue America.
Smashed, tried to grab, and got shot … should be how things go.
Adding injury to insult.
As usual, the Democrat does everything backwards.
Of course. Just one of those little silly co-inky-dinkies that make the universe such an interesting place. Just a normal day in Chicongo.
And the owner didn’t trash her and gave her the benefit of the doubt that they are both compassionate people. He could amend that and say, also revengeful.....
He was an idiot for storing such expensive watches in the cars, but that has nothing to do with how the City of Chicago is going to deal with this kind of crime going forward.
Chicago’s Gold Coast and Mid-Town Manhattan never had these problems, even during the high-crime periods of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Now they are. Just when we whittle down the old school organized crime (e.g. Mafia), we get a bigger, more violent, meaner, version that operates with a different kind of political protection.
Lightfoot’s leadership, always a class act.
Swimming with alligators can cause you substantial weight loss...
I’m betting it was a targeted attack on his business, and those were city employees.
I’m getting the feeling that the city wants the dealership out of business or gone.
Sane method NY uses to drive dairy farms out of business.
Send enviro protection in to “evaluate” then fine the farm to shreds.
While increasing the taxation and dictating the price they can sell their goods at.
She’ll have to assemble a blue-ribbon panel with all the integrity of a Chris Christie-traffic investigation to clear herself.
“It was unrelated to the mayor’s meeting with Mr. Perillo,” a Lightfoot spokesperson told the outlet.
Yea, right.
Sane = SAME
Welcome to the third world. There was a time when our elected officials actually respected their constituents and didn’t treat them like subjects.
Perillo owns a lot out here. He’s a big name when it comes to cars. That being said, those charges, all bullsh!t charges BTW, could be charged to any major dealership which has high-end cars; alcohol was probably gifts among staff and suppliers. The rest is VID-related, which makes it automatic crap.
It’s why I avoid the city wherever possible.
In a natural world, people would throw rocks at it and banish it to the wilderness to die alone. It must not be allowed to breed.

Notice all the right-wing legal defense groups doing pro-bono work for victims of the left coming out of the woodwork. /s

Uh huh.

It must not be allowed to breed.
IIRC, given the relationship status of Lightfoot, that possibility seems Extremely Unlikely.
Turn off the EEWWwwwwwwwwww meter, and please send something to clean up the vomit in aisle 3.

Hey, it's my first redacted response in a couple of weeks!
