Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday defended a series of insulting text messages sent to the city's police union president after he asked President Trump for help in addressing the city's violent crime wave.
In the messages to Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara, Lightfoot called him a "cartoon character" and "clown" who is "desperate for relevance." The exchange was obtained by WGN-TV.
The remarks came after Catanzara asked Trump in a July 18 letter for help in combating Chicago's violent crime epidemic, while calling Lightfoot a "complete failure."
In a news briefing, the mayor refused to walk back her remarks.
"In the middle of everything that’s going on, in a craven political move, this man waved his hand to President Trump and invited him to bring federal troops into our city, a la Portland," Lightfoot told reporters during a news briefing. "We have tried to engage him in a constructive way. He refuses to do so because he's more interested in trying to make himself a political figure rather than to be a leader.
"I don't take back one word that I said," she added. In his letter, Catanzara didn't specifically ask that federal forces be deployed to the city but said he was willing to meet with Trump to discuss how to "bring back civility to the streets of Chicago."

On a bad hair day.
The cut short mayor has little woman syndrome. It is fierce in her.
Kamala’s plastic surgeon was probably a closet Freeper. :-)

Bigfoot is better looking, and smarter, and way less annoying.
#3. Damn it! I just ate. Now I have chicken and rice all over the ceiling. I’m sending you the cleanup bill.
Does Chicago have any major politician who is sane, not a commie (Obama), crook (most of them), feminazi (Lightfoot), Obama asskisser (Emanuel), egotistical prick (Blago), incompetent (all of them), or a combination of all the above?
This is like asking whether Charles Manson knew how to use a fork!
#21. Beetlejuice, Lori’s brother from the same mother, only he smells and dresses better.
You’ve only yourself to blame.
Toni Prewinkle was a longtime Communist Party USA sympathizer. Much of her record of this should be found at www.keywiki.org, under her name.
The election for mayor of Chicago was like “Spy vs spy” but they were both Marxist, feminist and anti-America.
I thought that photo of the odd couple was a joke, but when I looked it up, I found they really are married!
They are not married. Two women cannot marry each other. Marriage is one man and one woman.
Laurie’s trophy wife. (Pic’s in #3 AND #59 herein)
A civil marriage. One article says they got married “on the day same-sex marriages became legal in Illinois.”
If she’s going to dress look a man, she could use a good tailor.
Oh for Pete’s sake! Did you have to post that?
civility? This is war
