Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot fired back at the CEO of McDonald’s after he highlighted the difficulty rising crime in the city has caused for his business, telling him he needs to "educate himself" on the matter.
"I think what would have been helpful is for the McDonald's CEO to educate himself before he spoke," the Chicago Democrat said during a media availability on Tuesday.
McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski warned in a speech at the Economic Club of Chicago luncheon last week that it was time to "face facts" and acknowledge that companies have been leaving the city over the past year due in part to rising crime.
"The fact is that there are fewer large companies headquartered in Chicago this year than last year," Kempczinski said. "There are fewer this month than last month."
Kempczinski also said that rising crime is hurting his company’s ability to recruit top talent and that employees have been hesitant to return to work at the downtown headquarters due to crime concerns.
In the press conference, Lightfoot also pointed to a letter from World Business Chicago President Michael Fassnacht that she says "lays out in exact detail all the good news, economic news, about what’s happening in our city."
"I’m going to focus on those things and not the comments of CEO of McDonald’s," Lightfoot said.

Everything to do with liberalism/“progressivism” can be understood if you keep two things in mind: 1) Liberalism exists because libs enjoy being sinful degenerates and their singular political focus is on changing society to give license to their degeneracy, and 2) Libs are emotional children, which is why when you try to have a rational debate with them they react irrationally by freaking out or calling you the adult equivalent of “Poo-poo head.” The fact that such immature individuals believe themselves to be your intellectual and moral superiors is just conclusive evidence of the depth of their self-delusion.
Stymie’s aunt perhaps, not Spanky’s .
McDonald’s CEO: We’re moving our headquarters somewhere else. We already got one clown running our show, we’re not auditioning for another.
18. Beetlejuice’s wifey thing.
That’s the thanks they get for deciding to market exclusively to blacks. So are they still “luvin’ it” now?
32 The MARXIST psycho can’t read so showing her real crime statistics would be a waste of time.
Also, she is a great ad in support of abortions.
The worst mayor in America.
The McDonalds CEO simply gave the city leadership a ‘hint’ of things to come. This reaction by the mayor....will just help speed up the process. I’ll wager they have a team scouting Nashville and Miami presently.
I’ll also wager that a dozen other big-names in business...residing in Chicago...are watching how this plays out and probably will announce their exit strategy by summer of 2023.
That is so cool. They were geniuses in performing their shorts. As a kid, I just laughed at their antics. As an adult, I marvel at at what they did.
They had to come up with the stories, plan the gags, rehearse and film. And a lot of what they did would be unthinkable to perform today.
Re. my tagline. Fishface has some pair of balls.
Shows how much the voter fraud is really rampant in Chicago.
Gee whiz, Aunt Esther (watch it, sucker) is better looking than that wench.
did she even get a GED?
“While Lightfoot was an undergraduate, her older brother, Brian Lightfoot, was arrested in connection with a bank robbery and the shooting of a security guard.”
Did someone say Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice?
My mistake. They moved from Oak Brook in 2018.
That was a mistake.

Nowhere on the planet does any Deep State hire the front office appearance types for brains.
LOL! I love it.
Mayor Troll projects aggressively.
