Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blasted over city's violence after decrying Colorado shooting

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was swiftly ridiculed for decrying the mass shooting in Colorado, while her own city is plagued with rampant gang violence and fatal shootings.

The Democratic mayor responded to the deadly shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado, where five people were killed and dozens were injured, by saying that it made her "sick."

"I’m sick of this s---. How many people need to be murdered? How many lives torn apart? Until it actually stops? We don’t have to live like this. And we don’t have to die like this," she wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

This past weekend at least 20 people were shot and three were killed in gang-related shootings in the Windy City, according to local news outlet ABC7.

Lightfoot's tweet was quickly ratioed, with Twitter users calling on the mayor to address her own city's problems with violence.

Conservative radio host Dan O'Donnell tweeted, "I'm not sure, but it seems like you might be in a position to do something about murders in Chicago."

Others mocked the mayor's seemingly tone-deaf tweet.

Conservative pundit and talk show host Dave Rubin called her a clown.

The reality is she values LGBT lives more than black lives.

The blacks in Chicago will ALWAYS vote for the democrat. She, and her merry band of marxists, don’t care about blacks. In fact, the more dysfunctional, violent, and poor blacks are the better it is for party politics. AND YET... The blacks still come out in droves to vote for their oppressors. So why would Beetlejuice care about blacks killing eachother every night in her fetid s hole of a city. They voted for it, they created it, they chose it. Because they like it.

Bug-eyed, stupid, lesbo bitch. She gawd awful ugly to the core. Makes me want to reconsider my position of post-birth abortions.

That’s very true. I doubt seriously she will win re-election.

Lightfoot to aide: I flunked out of math in public school. Math is racist anyway. Tell me, is 12 more than 448?

Aide: There is no one right answer in the new woke math, it depends on our feelings.

“The carnage in Chicago against our fellow Americans is a national embarrassment”. <-—I first said this 12 years ago.

LGBT lives matter. Black lives, only when shot by police.

I was calmly walking through the magazine section of Barnes & Noble yesterday when I passed The Advocate with her on the cover. They list Mom and also immigrant right on the cover.
May as well have a checklist. “Fool” wasn’t on the list.

What? Do I hear four? She’s also LGBTQ, and somebody shot up one of their clubs in Colorado for reasons yet unknown, so she’s a victim, too. That makes five! Five criticism shields!
