CHICAGO — A former attorney for the City of Chicago is suing Mayor Lori Lightfoot for defamation after she allegedly berated a group of lawyers during a heated meeting over the removal of the Christopher Columbus Statue.
The statue was removed in July 2020 following unrest over the murder of George Floyd. Under Lightfoot’s orders, crews used a large crane to remove the statue from its pedestal in Grant Park following a week after protesters trying to topple the monument clashed with police.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday by former Chicago Park District counsel general George Smyrniotis, says Lightfoot blocked a deal with an Italian-American group to display the statue in the Columbus Day Parade.
Smyrniotis claims she berated the lawyers who struck the deal, asking them which law school they attended or if they even went to law school. The suit claims the insults defamed Smyrniotis by insinuating that he lacked the abilities to perform his duties.
The lawsuit also claims the mayor used obscene language and called the lawyers “d—-.” The mayor allegedly made the following statement:
“You make some kind of secret agreement with Italians, what you are doing, you are out there measuring your d—- with the Italians seeing whose got the biggest d—, you are out there stroking your d—- over the Columbus statue, I am trying to keep Chicago Police officers from being shot and you are trying to get them shot.
The lawsuit claims she then went on to say, “My d— is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d— in Chicago.”
The city has not commented on the lawsuit.

Its what Chicago wanted.
Those democrats sure are classy.
Really?
I'm sure she's correct.
Well, in her drawer, perhaps.
“Its what Chicago wanted.”
I agree. Let them enjoy every bit of what they asked for.
She is such a vile, disgusting human being it’s hard to find words. She’s a racist troll on top of it.
Sure, it’s easy when you can just buy one off the shelf.
I guess strap-ons count in his situation or is she really a he
She’s losing it.
To use that expression once during a heated conversation is one thing, but to repeat it over and over is only done to show
disrespect. I hope they do not let this go.
For her time remaining as Mayor, she needs to learn to at least pretend she is being diplomatic.
Well played!
😂 🍌
That’s a guy, baby!
I’m sure she’s the Monster from the Black Lagoon.
The pervasiveness of mental illness and corruption knows no limits in Chicago. While I weep for their eternal souls I have no sympathy for the now-unavoidable suffering ahead as they reap that which has been sown.
America is no longer a Christian nation - at least certainly not in our governance. Its not that we were perfect before, but there were generally accepted standards for action, behavior and morality from our institutions
Our national ideology now is a shifting mixture of neo-marxism, woke ideology, radical self-interest, financial greed. In sum, its pure power-politics.
Bwahahaha!!!
it’s called envy...
I had no idea she was this classy!
