Lori Lightfoot blames election loss on gender and race, tells Chicago she "put this city on a better path" 🤡
· Mar 1, 2023 · NottheBee.com

You racist, sexist, homophobic Chicagoans got rid of the best mayor in human history because you just couldn't help being bigots, could you?

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.

Lightfoot at the very moment that reporter threw her that softball question:

"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.

"Fear being bold."

Is that a new euphemism for "run your city into the ground"?

"I am a black woman — let's not forget," Lightfoot, 60, told the New Yorker in a piece that ran Saturday. "Certain folks, frankly, don't support us in leadership roles."

I can't blame her. The entire Democratic platform is about giving power to the loudest, most whiny voices.

Lightfoot ran on making Chicago safe again.

Let's see how that played out under her policies:

[H]omicides, mostly from gun violence, spiked dramatically in 2020 and 2021 from 500 murders in 2019 to 776 and 804 in the next two years, respectively. Shootings and carjackings also skyrocketed."

Violent crime in the city spiked by 40% since she promised during her inaugural address to end the "epidemic of gun violence that devastates families, shatters communities, holds children hostage to fear in their own homes," the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Meanwhile, here was Lightfoot and her policies:

I think she was just REALLY BAD at her job! Perhaps criminally so!

And that, my friends, is the last story I pray I will ever have to write about Lori Lightfoot.

May she fade into the obscurity of history, never to haunt our dreams again.
