Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot claimed most of her critics do not attack her over her policies but because of her gender and her race.
"About 99% of it,” Lightfoot responded during an interview on WTTW's Chicago Tonight when asked how much of the criticism she faces is either race-based or sex-based.
She later contended that she receives comments that her white, male predecessors would never have received.
"Look at my predecessors. Did people say that Rich Daley held tea sessions with people that he didn't disagree on? Rahm Emanuel was a polite guy who was a uniter? No,” she said.
“Women and people of color are always held to a different standard,” Lightfoot added. “I’ve known that my whole life.”
Those claims are a “cop-out,” according to Chicago’s 20th Ward Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor.
Taylor, who is also a black woman, often feuds with the Chicago mayor and disputed the assertion that she is treated differently than her predecessors.
"The same way that I challenged her, I've challenged Rahm and I've challenged Daley. And I was a community organizer then,” she said. “That's not true. That's the cop-out.”
“At the end of the day, it's her responsibility and duty as our co-worker to pull us together and have us figure out plans that work for our community," Taylor added.

She’s running out of cards to play......................
Affirmative action hires against men. Promotions against men. Government putting pressure on and investigating any place that does not specially favor affirmative action types. This has held back young and old males since 1972.
That all adds up to her lying.
I am struggling against my intense, powerful hatred.
Remember way back to last week when math was raciss? Now, suddenly, math is a tool for claiming racism.
Of course she does. Shes too much a gaslighting narcissist to conclude otherwise. ...cupid stunt!
Failed left wingers like Lightfoot always play the victim card. Boo hoo. Poor me. In actuality, black female mayors across the country have compiled a similarly dismal record. Identity is no substitute for competence.
Couldn’t have anything to do with her being a useless progressive waste of space, could it?
Sounds like this country is just a hellhole for women of color. Maybe they should go to any one of a number of nonwhite countries where life will be paradise for them.
Thank You!
The left can not endure in honest debate of ideas thus everything they oppose is labeled:
1.Racism
2.Sexism
3.Homophobia
4.LGBT phobia
5.White Nationalism
6.White Supremacy
7.Muslim phobia and fear
8.Trans phobia
9.And do not forget capitalist exploiters of the people.
ETC. ETC. ETC.
Their logic is empty, thus they resort to hate labels. However, they are the real haters of all other logic and philosophy least their own.
I forget. Is being stupid and incompetent protected classes?
Or is she saying that all women are incompetent and all blacks are stupid?
Of course she does. How convenient. Fricken failure. But I’m black
Groot beetlejuice is so smart.
And the remaining 1% of her criticism is "uglism" because she is one of the ugliest women I have ever set eyes on.
Scary ugly.
Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot can try to blame criticisms on sexism or racism but perhaps it is her ineptitude! That is all she does is make excuxes.
Yeah, I am an old white guy in Florida.
I am the reason hundreds of black gang youth shoot other black gang youth in Chicago?
bitch is crazy.

Wait just a minute here, she MADE gender and race her politics. And maybe if she’d do the job the citizens elected her for there wouldn’t be so many out there criticizing her.
