Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed former President Donald Trump for the standoff between the city and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), whose members have defied an order to return to their classrooms and threatened a possible strike.

As Fox News reported, Lightfoot and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) CEO Janice Jackson released a statement Monday evening saying that CPS had backed down on its threat to lock teachers out of remote learning portals if they refused to show up for preparation for in-person instruction

Lori, you could probably also blame Trump for you being so ugly, but I’m afraid that that is the fault of ungodly liberalism. I find it amazing just how ugly most liberal women are . . . uh, you are still a woman . . . right?

What the hell does the President have to do with a city Teachers Union. NOTHING. It's a local matter that the Fedgov has no authority.

It's becoming increasingly obvious these commies have nothing to offer other that look over there!! Trump still orange bad man. This is is beyond pathetic.

I would be surprised if 3 teachers out a 1000 in Chicago voted for Trump.

Probably in a round about way she is blaming him for picking Betsy De Vos to be the secretary of education.

Someone should tell Admiral Akbar that blaming former President Trump does not work anymore.

So... I read the article. Lightfoot is blaming Trump for not getting enough vaccine out to vaccinate, well, everyone, by now.

Idiot woman. If not for Trump and his team’s approach we might still be in trials on one, maybe two vaccines at present.

A secondary point is that rates of declining vaccination when available are higher in what racial groups? Well, I won’t say precisely, but...

It’s that racist Trump’s vaccine! Don’t take it!! /s

Possibly, but hasn't De Vos been replaced by now? Doesn't matter, the Department of Education has no authority over city and Teacher Union disputes. It's entirely local.

BTW, above all cabinet positions that could be eliminated, the Department of Education is number one for me. Does anyone really know what it does other than provide Fedgov jobs? Like DMV jobs, most of them couldn't operate a hotdog stand. Pfft.

We must hold the line on the truth of the good done by the Trump team on covid, particularly on project Warp Speed. We cannot allow Dems to re-write history as they were doing everyday through fake news propaganda. We should demand the covid body count ticker return.

A vaccination is not an unreasonable demand to go back to a petri dish for 8hrs per day.

They know Trump really won the election—so now he is living rent-free in their heads.

The sociopaths are always freaked out (in their subconscious) by their blatant lying.

History is written by the victors.

If you lose you don’t get to write history...

Cool. Didn’t know Trump was still POTUS. Good for him. Great for the country.

Oh, wait. Nevermind.
