Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) says she doesn't want President Trump's assistance to combat the ongoing nightly massacres of mostly black city residents. She disputed Trump's assertion that her City is shortchanging the black community by not taking stronger steps to tamp down the violence.
"It is not for a white man to say whether a black woman's handling of law enforcement shortchanges her people," Mayor Lightfoot maintained. "The voters elected me, not him. I should be left alone to decide what steps are needed. Federal intervention is not one of the steps I want to see taken."
Trump called Lightfoot's position "mystifying. Seventy-five percent of the people being murdered in Chicago are black, many of them very young children. This is horrendous carnage. We cannot allow criminals to kill at will. This needs to be stopped. We're offering to assist the local police force with a surge of some of the best crime fighters in the nation. I don't see how this offer of assistance hurts the law-abiding people of Chicago."
Lightfoot pointed out that "what Trump neglects to mention is that more than 70% of the murders are committed by blacks. These are the people I'm afraid will get hurt by a too aggressive anti-crime effort of the 200 federal agents he wants to send to Chicago."

She’s as stupid as she is ugly. She/it is indirectly killing her own constituents because She/it is a racist.
What do you mean “satire”?
The anti-white rhetoric is getting old.
