Responding to President Donald Trump’s comment that she’s privately happy with the federal government, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Tuesday acknowledged telling Vice President Michael Pence that the Army Corps of Engineers did good work turning McCormick Place into an alternative care facility but denied being “one way publicly and another way privately with the administration.”

At a press briefing on Monday, Trump said, "The mayor of Chicago, at least on the phone, is extremely happy with what we’re doing — thanking us. I just wish the politicians would say to you what they say to us.”

Another liberal who unsuspectingly fails to realize how Trump plays them.

The silly cow.
“Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot essentially accused the federal officials of fear-mongering.

“With Chinatown restaurants already suffering from a dramatic decline in business tied to coronavirus fears, the last thing Chicago needs is a premature alarm from federal officials”, the mayor said.”

CV is her least problem. She should be more concerned over the 7 killings and 21 shootings that happened there yesterday and almost everyday in that out of control city.

The disaster known as Mayor Lighthead takes her marching orders from George Soros.

He bought and paid for her election.
