In a bizarre video announcement, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that a "Census Cowboy" will now be going to the 10 communities in the city with the lowest Census completion rates to urge residents to fill out the form.
"Giddy up, Chicago. I'm calling on the Census Cowboy to help improve our Census response rates across Chicago. Make the Census Cowboy proud by filling out the Census today at my2020census.gov," Lightfoot said in a tweet of the video.
Lightfoot started her speech by comparing Chicago to Gotham City from "Batman."
"When I was a kid, I loved the "Batman" TV show. And when the city of Gotham had a real difficult challenge, one of the things the mayor there did is he called out and he sent out the distress signal to Batman. So, we are doing something similar for the census," Lightfoot said.
Picking up and putting on a green cowboy hat, Lightfoot announced: "And I'm happy to report I'm calling out the Census Cowboy."
A man dressed as a cowboy then came into the frame as Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" played. Local outlet WLS-TV reported that the man is Adam Hollingsworth, who is known to ride his horse through the city and is known as Dreadhead Cowboy.

I bet they get shot.
“Chicago’s mayor donned a lime green cowboy hat”

Systemic hatred of people who live in the western US.
You go, girl! Not. What an incompetent ass.
“Lightfoot started her speech by comparing Chicago to Gotham City from “Batman.”
How tone-deaf is this fool?
I don’t see why she can’t just fill out a bunch of forms herself. They cheat and lie about everything else.

You beat me to it.
Next story we see will be the one about the shooting of the census cowboy was my thought...
I read an article about a year ago, which reported that about 10% of the black people in Chicago moved out between 2010 and 2017. And the overall population of Chicago was declining as well.
While there are problems with people responding to the census everywhere, Chicago is actually losing population, particularly the black population. Decent black people don’t want to live in that city. I’m sure the mayor can’t believe that people would move out of her city. But facts are stubborn things.
Calling out a challenge for the census but not for kids being shot in the city.
Cares more about votes than kids.
Unbelievable.
I do not understand why Chicago and New York City are having such a problem
Don’t they have a hundreds of city workers filling out census forms for the living and dead residents?
They did this the last time. Must be someone watching now so they are working to explain the big drop in numbers coming. They had free reign back in 2010, when Obama was the boss. You don’t think they just cheat in elections do you?
The term "cowboy" is cisgender.
Who needs an accurate census with Reparations checks coming?
Cultural appropriation. Fire her!
Corrine Brown is out of prison now. Has she become the mayor’s wardrobe consultant?
A fitting successor to Rahm Emanuel
Who in right mind would want to admit living in Chicago today?
There is a sign here in Ma. promoting the census.
It says; “Don’t wait for the knock on the door”
Sounds a little ominous.
