A reporter has told Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot that she has a cheek to talk of running for re-election given soaring crime in the Windy City.
The journalist, named only as Rob, took Lightfoot to task during a question and answer session Wednesday, saying: 'Real Chicagoans are asking me, how can you possibly even consider running for re-election for mayor of the city of the Chicago after all the harm you've caused?'
Lightfoot kept her cool but was clearly rattled by the ambush, and responded: 'I disagree with you fundamentally and I don't think I need to address and dignify your comments one second further,' before moving on.
Prior to the dig, Rob had reeled-off examples of soaring crime in the city, telling her: 'Every time you have a press conference you say crime is down, the economy is booming,' the reporter begins his question before he is disrupted by Lightfoot, who says: 'Well that not true, but get your question sir'
'Across the street we had a police officer on duty, the victim of a hit and run, we have Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent Mile, now referred to as the mile of fear and the Water Tower Place has thrown the keys back to the lender, they say they don't want to be in Chicago anymore,' he tells the mayor.

Spiraling? is this a new lib ploy?? redefining words or a jedi mind trick??
Lightfoot is what happens when imbeciles vote for mental retards.
The democrat machine will create as many votes as she needs.
Besides, isn’t Lightfoot due back on the set of the next “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie?
Bettlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
Why run at all if they all win by massive election fraud?
Just shoo her in now and stop the pretending already.
This has been all over the shitcago area news today. Talk radio has been playing it over, and over, and over ...
Awful, awful mayor.
Meanwhile everything falls apart, and the MSM doesn't notice.
They run for public office to get money and power not that other stuff
It's a valid question. If voters are stupid enough to vote for her though....
I work with a transplant diehard liberal from Chicago. If I mention the crime in Chicago, he immediately rambles on and on that there is NO crime problem. If I mention the state should kick Chicago out, he rambled how Chicago is the best thing Illinois could ever hope for.
So I totally see Lightfoot getting re-elected.
I think they mean spiraling as in “spiraling out of control”.
If she’s got the Dominion vote tabulators locked in she can campaign from a basement and still win in a landslide.
It turns out that a dwarf, lesbian, communist, with special needs may not be qualified to effectively manage the third largest city in the nation. Who knew?
Lightfoot won’t just run for re-election. She’ll win.
