Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday blamed a staffer working on her reelection campaign for sending out the widely condemned email asking teachers to incentivize students to volunteer for her with class credit, calling it a “mistake” after an investigation was launched into the matter.
The “Windy City” mayor on Thursday denounced the recruiting initiative, placing the blame on her campaign staffer for sending the email to the official work inboxes of several Chicago Public Schools teachers a day earlier. According to WTTW News, the email reportedly sent by Lightfoot’s deputy campaign manager Megan Crane, encouraged teachers to offer students “credit” for volunteering through the campaign’s “externship program.”
“There was absolutely no nefarious intent on the part of the staff person and there simply was no coercion, I’ve seen that question bubble up. There was no coercion, no intent to do that by any means by this young woman and no city resources were used,” Lightfoot said in a press conference Thursday.

Notice the “no intent”..
Where have I heard that before...hmmmmmm...
Not a mistake. Now what?
Hey it’s Lighfoot’s campaign. She’s responsible for it. She should be removed from the ballot.
I ran Mayor Lightfoot‘s statement through my Jonny Quest decoder ring.
Here’s what came out:
“Of course it was my idea. My only regret is that I got caught. But if it makes you feel any better, I’ll fire some poor low-level staffer.”
Yep.
better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
All they want is to open a door that they don’t have the right to.
Yep, whatever happened to “the buck stops here”?
The buck stops with her-and goes right into her bank account.
If there was no bad feed back would the staffer get credit?
Teachers and the teachers union run our government - makes sense, huh.
It’s the land ruled by the BeetleJuice demon....
‘nough said.
“The Buck Never Got Here!”
What’s the big deal?
Since the kids attending Chicago schools fail so dramatically; why not let the kids get some ‘real life’ experience in intimidation and election fraud that will serve them well in the future.
Public school groomers...
And people wonder what the purpose of “public schools” are...
Another one under the bus, another one, another one, another bites the dust.... We know this democratic tune, watch biden’s document story soon to come.
It’s the government way: Credit flows uphill, blame flows downhill.
The “mistake” was that it got out to the public.
