Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed racism and her gender for her landslide defeat in her re-election bid, as Chicagoans weary of the rising crime on her watch celebrated her fall from “political rock star to rock bottom.”
“I’m a black woman in America. Of course,” she replied when asked by a reporter if she had been treated unfairly.
But she called being Chicago’s mayor “the honor of a lifetime.”
“Regardless of tonight’s outcome, we fought the right fights and we put this city on a better path,” Lightfoot said, as she urged her fellow mayors around the US not to fear being bold.
Amid heavy criticism for the crime wave, homelessness and other troubles plaguing the city, the mayor had also injected race into the run-up to the election.

Gordon Lightfoot would have made a better mayor, at least we could read his mind
of course. she has been on the identity politics gravy train for forever. knows nothing of excellence, competence, honesty. should be no surprise. the problem is those who buy into this ‘folderol’ - or ‘malarkey’ per Joey B who knows a thing or two about spinning a web of it.
How usual
lightfoot got the big boot in a Blue city, that's saying something. I guess the Brandon fellow is another defund the police guy, hope the other guy wins.
Brandon is a full fledged commie. He would be WORSE then her..
Come on Lightfoot. Man up and stop the whining. Your skin tone and bad looks along with your lesbianism DOES NOT entitle you to a government job with an armed security detail. Get a real job like the rest of us.
Nothing will change in Chicago. Decent, rational people left long ago. the new mayor’s policies will reflect the values, habits and culture of the people who wish to live there.
BeetleJuice, BeetleJuice, BeetleJuice......Ha, Ha, Ha.
Hey, BeetleJuice, you should have listened to your big daddy in hell and kept that weekly kill quota up there on par. Big daddy doesn’t like little self-serving demons that don’t listen. Oh...and just an FYI, Beetle.... there is a God in Heaven.
Quelle surprise!
Hahaha, she is such a horrible human being.
What’s her hubbie say?
Yep, only thing worse than a black woman is a queer one. That’s why she lost, for sure!

Regardless of tonight’s outcome, we fought the right fights and we put this city on a better path,” Lightfoot said.
Words fail me.
Groot is a woman? Who knew?
She’s not worried she has Reparations
Michael Keaton did it better than Lori “Light in the Loafers” Lightfoot at being Beetlejuice.
And the sun rise this morning. Next....
