CHICAGO — Mayor Lori Lightfoot is fending off conservative backlash after she tweeted that the Supreme Court’s draft opinion to reverse Roe v. Wade was a “call to arms” for those in the LGBTQ community.
Conservative figures, including Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., and Fox News' Laura Ingraham, accused Lightfoot of seeking to incite violence when she tweeted Monday: “To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms.”
Boebert told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, “If anyone in America is an insurrectionist, it’s little Lori.”
In an interview Wednesday, Lightfoot fired back at her critics and said her tweet wasn't meant to be interpreted literally. She said she only wanted to "sound the alarm" that other protections could be at risk.
“These are the same damn people who were in on January 6 insurrection, where people were injured and died,” Lightfoot said. “So the irony of these people acting like they have any legitimacy in attacking our word choice when they have tried to foment an insurrection against our democracy? It’s beyond hypocritical. It’s ludicrous. They have no legitimacy to criticize anyone.”

Groot calls for insurrection.
Yeah. The government killed them. They were peaceful protesters.
“They have no legitimacy to criticize anyone”
LL is an insurrectionist and anti-free speecher to boot.
Except for the Deep State agent provocateurs. And they received nary a scratch, and evaded the DC Gitmo dungeon.
The only ones killed, injured, or rounded up were American patriots peacefully demonstrating against the Presidential Election theft.
“ They have no legitimacy to criticize anyone.”
Think that one through.

Be careful what you ask for Groot
Isn’t that wench a walking, talking birth control advertisement?
How many Chicagoians were killed in a mostly peaceful weekend?:
Mostly Peaceful Weekend!
Ah, so it is the rodent queen herself that confers legitimacy.
Not in my world you creep.
To be expected from a totally corrupted reprobate.
