Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot denied what she called “homophobic, racist and misogynistic rumors” alleging she planned to resign Sunday.
The mayor of the nation’s third-largest city issued the denial after a night of rumors spread on Twitter and elsewhere.
“Good morning from my mansion in Sauganash,” Lightfoot posted in reference to widespread rumors last summer that she bought a multimillion dollar mansion in the posh Northside neighborhood.
“Seriously, though — our city doesn’t have any time for homophobic, racist and misogynistic rumors, today or any day,” Lightfoot continued.
“It’s shocking and disappointing to see some media members and verified Twitter handles are peddling this trash as truth.”
Unconfirmed rumors of Lightfoot’s supposedly impending resignation circulated on Twitter on Saturday night into early Sunday morning.
Chicago has been on edge for weeks after a city cop shot and killed 13-year-old Adam Toledo last month.
Authorities had previously described the shooting as an “armed confrontation,” but disturbing bodycam footage released on Thursday showed Toledo unarmed with his hands up the moment he was shot.
In her tweets Sunday, Lightfoot called on city residents to disregard the rumors and get behind her leadership.
“If people hadn’t noticed, we have major challenges in Chicago we need to address TOGETHER,” she posted.

I am sooooo dissapointed.
“...Authorities had previously described the shooting as an “armed confrontation,” but disturbing bodycam footage released on Thursday showed Toledo unarmed”
And any negative speculation about Lightfoot keeping her job is, of course, homophobic—she’e a lesbian, racist—she’s black, and misogynistic because she a woman! She’s hit the trifecta! If only she had a disability...
If you don’t vote fo me, youz all WACISTS!! An I’m gonna ‘rest you!!
LOL
Perish the very thought of that being politically incorrect.
Is it homophobic or is it racist? Which one wins? All I know is that she is hogging all the ugly
-——ugly to the bone
Wow. She played all of her victim cards in one hand.
-——which means that much of the rumor mill is true.
Wow. Thanks for the link of Jr.Walker and the All Stars from Feb. 13, 1965. Listened with pleasure.
When I was going to Wayne State University back then I used to pass the Hitsville USA studios often. A friend of mine got a job doing some of the background harmony singing (mostly “ooooaaahh” or “oh, baby” lyrics but he worked with the top Motown stars behind the scenes.
Great days.
Of frickin’ course... They can’t just be bad rumors. They HAVE to be whatever boxes you check off on the Oppressed List.
“Fake News” comes to Shitcago.
Democrats don’t resign over dirty laundry, that’s only for Republicans.
She’s a black lesbian. Anybody that disagrees with anything she says or does is therefore a homophobic racist.
Did you get a load of her white wife?
Ask Oprah.
People like Lightfoot never , ever resign. Right now Chicago and the other Democratic urban strongholds are living off the huge Federal aid package. However the real story is that these places are lawless and unlivable. People seem to be leaving if they can. How long will woke corporations or entrpeneurs continue to commit capital into these cities. If you walk the streets of NYC, ground level businesses are shuttered, there are many commercial and residential vacancies. The Feds can’t support these cities forever.
The gay Beatlejuice said what?
Chicago burns while she twiddles.
“Did you get a load of her white wife?”
Yes. She reminds me of Lurch from The Addams Family.

What about the elephant in the room....WHO IN THE HELL WOULD ‘CHEAT’ WITH HER?
oh yeah, she’s gay, and her partner is a dykey very tall white woman. It’s funny how much private stuff has come to light in the past year about especially females, gay or not, (but often gay) and black in positions of power in the Dem strongholds. Mayors, AGs, Chiefs of Police, etc.and it was revealed several months back that FOX stalwart Donna Brazile and Mayor Muriel Bowser of DC, are man and wife.
