Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Friday branded as “deeply offensive,” “ridiculous” and “wholly lacking in merit” the claim that she made an obscene and derogatory remark against Italian Americans during a call to discuss the statue of Christopher Columbus removed from Arrigo Park.(snip)
The comment that incensed Ron Onesti, president of the civic committee, was allegedly made during a video call the mayor had the evening of Columbus Day with several people, including two park district attorneys, (snip)
On the call, according to the lawsuit, Lightfoot berated Smyrniotis and Park District General Counsel Timothy King.
“You d—ks, what the f—k were you thinking?” Lightfoot is quoted as saying in the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, Lightfoot went on to accuse King and Smyrniotis of making “some kind of secret agreement with Italians, what you are doing, you are out there measuring your d—ks with the Italians seeing whose got the biggest d—k. ... I am trying to keep Chicago Police officers from being shot and you are trying to get them shot. My d—k is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d—k in Chicago.”
The mayor, Smyrniotis claims in the lawsuit, went on to defame him, making “rude, insulting, false, and disrespectful statements” that he “lacked an ability to perform his job duties,” asking, among other things: “Where did you go to law school? Did you even go to law school? Do you even have a law license?”
Ron Onesti, president of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans, had demanded that Lightfoot apologize for making what he called “vulgar” and “offensive” remarks about Italian Americans.
Onesti also has doubts about the veracity of the mayor’s denial.

“Some of my best friends are wops.”
My dago and guinea pals hate being called wops.

She has a wife, you know…
I think she has whopping Italian meat occupying her every though.
Not only that, hers comes in different sizes and colors and is always ready for action. She even has one with batteries.
Absolutely one of the funniest scenes in any movie, ever. In light of skyrocketing gas prices, impending skyrocketing food prices and the possibility of Putin starting to toss around nukes...I’m going to watch that tonight. Yup, pure escapism.
And the ugly and crazy daughter of Betelguese probably hasn’t seen a real d**k in decades. Plastic or rubber...perhaps that’s a different story.
“Like an impression of an old-school political boss, from somebody with the maturity of a nine year old.”
I seriously question the judgement of the people who voted for this racist, foul mouthed gargoyle-goblin-orc hybrid. You’d think the Uruk-hai were grotesque, but this witch with a b takes the cake.
So maybe white or maybe a "person of color" depending on what chapter of "the big book of diversity" you are on that day.
Agreed.
Morons failed to record the call. The problem with phone meetings is that you can’t smell someone’s breath...
