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."

Exactly. So far 18 people have been murdered this week, with Fri and Sat to go and over 400 for the year and she doesn’t care about them just making her self look good to the press for saying “Orange Man Bad.”
Is the tall lesbian her husband?
Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Yup. Amy Eschleman.
Does she go to a thrift shop to buy her atrociously ill-fitting mens suits? She looks like she comes from a remote village in Elbonia which only got electricity last year, generated by a pair of oxen walking a wheel. And the oxen are waaaaaay more intelligent than her. All she’s got occupying that space beneath those ugly grey kinks is hatred for whites, Trump, and men, not necessarily in that order.
One MLM (Marxist Lesbian Moron) would be a novelty. Seeing them occupying major offices in every single large city, you know the process has been rigged.
As much as I cannot stand this woman, that picture makes me feel sad for her.
“Mayor Groot”
What is that?
Her sign language trans=lator?
Lightfoot, you don’t know the meaning of the word ‘civility’.
I swear, I hope a pack of your lovely teen denizens knocks the crap out of you and takes your wallet.
I’d rather have Cthulhu.
Cthulhu fhtagn! Ia! Ia!
Lurch and Betelgeuse...
Yeah, send these officers on to more productive activities (like fighting crime)...tonight on the street where her house is located:
