Outraged Chicago residents and conservative leaders ripped Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday for allowing “out of control” homeless encampments to grow at O’Hare International Airport.
“It’s part of the ongoing disintegration of Chicago,” Republican political operative Dan Proft told The Post. “[Lightfoot] holds the primary responsibility.”
“She pounds her fists at a podium and says ‘We’re gonna do this and we’re gonna do that’ for public safety — and it doesn’t get done,” said Proft, who hosts the Windy City radio show AM 560 The Answer.
“The situation at O’Hare is unprecedented,” he added. “It’s as bad as [Chicagoans] can remember in terms of quality of life issues.”
Critics began tearing into the progressive mayor’s lackluster policies after photos emerged depicting the airport as a sprawling, “dystopian” encampment for the city’s rising homeless population — sparking safety concerns among staff and passengers.

“it was impossible to sleep at the airport, because they had a loud announcement on the speakers every 15 minutes...”
Perhaps they could bring in a bunch of Hari krishnas to beg money from the “homeless” as the Haris infested the airports back in the 1970s. Haven’t seen any of them around for a long time!
The deep state is slitting their own throats by allowing Mayor Gollum to rule over Chicago.
Back in May, 2020, she sent Obuma’s “army” into Cicero to attack Mexican neighborhoods and businesses. The Mexicans set up armed barricades to meet the deep state’s BLM “army,” and the Mexicans kicked their butts and chased them back into the inner city.
Chicago is another example of the stupidity and incompetence of the 50-IQ deep state. Let it continue.
“If they have a roof over their head (airport roof) are they actually homeless?”
excellent question ... several decades ago, a body was discovered at an abandoned Hugh M Woods big box lumberyard type of store ... he’d apparently been living there for quite some time ...a cop buddy of mine said his drivers license listed that Hugh M. Woods address as his home address and that he’d been receiving mail there ...
Didn’t I see a Tom Hanks movie about this?
So what...the toadstool will be reelected in a landslide.
I remember when Chicago Cops patrolled O’Hare - They checked people to see if they had a ticket or were waiting for someone - there was no loitering allowed.
Yeah, but at least at the hospital, you can get a sedative.
