Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was excoriated by critics late Monday following a tweet she posted that included a "call to arms" over the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.
"To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community – the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms," the Democrat lesbian mayor tweeted.
"We will not surrender our rights without a fight—a fight to victory!" she added in a separate tweet.

Critics quickly took to social media to blast Lightfoot, with some accusing her of calling for violence, and others arguing former President Donald Trump was impeached for "far less."
"Example 1,354,678 that today’s Democratic Party is evil," wrote Fox News contributor Lisa Booth, while political commentator Rob Maness tweeted, "Words of a seditionist inciting violence against the Federal Judiciary branch of the government."
"Sounds like incitement of insurrection to me," former Air Force pilot Buzz Patterson wrote, appearing to mock Democrats and other leftists who frequently use similar phrases to criticize Trump and other Republicans.
Digital strategist Greg Price argued that Lightfoot's "literal call for a violent insurrection" would lead to no action being taken against her because she is a Democrat, while musician Five Times August called on Twitter to remove Lightfoot's account for "inciting violence."
"If this isn’t a call to insurrection, what is?" asked Texas Scorecard publisher Michael Quinn Sullivan, while Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, tweeted a hashtag referring to Lightfoot's tweet as "#DemMobViolence."

One fine day, these Marxist scum are going to get exactly what they seem to desperately want.
Damn it Roberts release the ruling so these obvious extortion attempts will end.
Lisa Booth is so beautiful. Sorry, I didn’t mean to divert the thread. Anyone know the percentage of black children aborted in Chicago? Is it approaching the majority levels of DC and New York? How many Post-Abortion women in Chicago are regretful and depressed drowning their Post-Abortion Syndrome in substances and making life Hell for their other children? The dysfunction continues generationally and the people get “leaders” like Lightfoot, Cuomo, DeBlasio, Biden, Newsome, and Pelosi, etc.
democrats have committed acts of violence and are calling for others to violate the law.
None of them have been arrested for their crimes.
The abortion industry preys on Black women
Big abortion’s regime of murder is especially effective in snuffing out the lives of Black and Brown babies

While we await the Court’s final ruling, it is worth noting that Justice Alito wrote in the draft opinion that some supporters of abortion “have been motivated by a desire to suppress the size of the African American population.” He went on to write, “It is beyond dispute that Roe has had that demographic effect. A highly disproportionate percentage of aborted fetuses are Black.”
What Justice Alito spotlighted in his draft opinion is the dirty secret of the abortion industry: Their officially sanctioned regime of murder is especially effective in snuffing out the lives of Black and Brown babies. Big Abortion, led by Planned Parenthood, puts profit over principle, and lies over life.
Consider: Most abortion clinics are within walking distance of minority neighborhoods; more than 33% of all abortions in America are done to Black babies, even though Black Americans only comprise 12% of the overall population.
Every single year since 1973, over 400,000 Black babies have been exterminated by the abortion industry. That’s more than 19 million boys and girls. And Planned Parenthood has received billions in taxpayer dollars from Democrats who control Congress and the White House.

She needs to be removed.
Oh, no! Not excoriation by critics! This is just terrible!
Really poor choice of words for the mayor of such a violence ridden city.
