Former Chicago Mayor Lightfoot
Being the first Chicago Mayor to be voted out of office in 40 years makes a statement. It’s been a stunning fall from grace. Lightfoot campaigned for mayor in 2019 by arguing crime was too high, saying she wanted to make Chicago the ‘safest big city in the country.’
She won in a landslide. The darling of the woke crowd was sworn into office as Chicago’s 56th mayor. Pity her term in office was a disaster at every turn. But the voters are at fault of course.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blames election loss on racism, gender
By Yaron Steinbuch
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.
“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.”
The Chicago Tribune called her loss a “political embarrassment” and argued that crime “skyrocketed” on her watch.
Those Chicago racist MAGA sleeper cells were activated by a dog whistle and flooded the polls for whitey. Sure. On an interesting side note, Chicago Top Cop Superintendent David Brown resigned his post the very next day. He’s taking a position with a personal injury law firm.
Brown was recognized by the city’s largest police union with a no-confidence vote in 2021.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blames election loss on racism, gender.If that is the case, how come she was voted in as mayor the first time. ??????
Racism, gender and being gay. Please try to keep up…. Now the citizens have figured out that those are not the primary “talents” for a mayor if one wants a nice peaceful and potentially long life in the city.
Affirmative action hire.
To the Nth degree.

“Lightfoot’s Loss Celebrated By Fellow Chicago Democrat: ‘Common Sense Can Prevail'”
https://www.foxnews.com/media/lightfoot-loss-celebrated-fellow-chicago-democrat-common-sense-prevail
“A Democratic Chicago alderman celebrated Mayor Lori Lightfoot being eliminated from mayoral runoff contention after she finished behind third in Tuesday’s nonpartisan jungle election.”
“Ald. Raymond Lopez told “Tucker Carlson Tonight” the mayor’s loss shows Chicagoans can allow “common sense [to] prevail” after a term’s worth of left-wing, woke or racially charged policies and rhetoric.”
“And the pendulum, I believe, is starting to swing in the right direction — back to the middle, back towards common sense, where the outrageous policies of woke narratives and agendas are coming to an end.”
Good luck getting a gig at CNN or any other television network – she’s got a face for radio.
Her wife kind of look like a run down, unhappy Clark Kent without any super powers.

Pornography has misled me on the attractiveness of lesbians once more.
Reality be a bitch. This duo would never make it to Pornhub.
That would scare the audience.
Don’t be fooled. The two in the photo above are stunt lesbians.
So, the actual lezzos are even less attractive.
Looks like a much older Stephen Colbert.
I was in the Media Library and wondered what someone wanted with this douchebag’s pic.
Well played, Cut
Rachel Madcow’s sister.
Not yet, Ch*tcago’s still picking Democrats to replace her.
I bet the local Chicago political mafia is still trying to figure who they’ll rig the vote for in the next “election” there.
She still has unemployment benefit’s.

This is MAGA country!
Yes, I understand bleach sales are up in Chicago.
If by “certain people”, she meant 87% of the population of Chicago she was dead on. If only those raciss hacks at Time Magazine had given her the cover, she would have made it.
Deomcrat lost to other democrats. Election polling centers in Chicago were confused on who all the extra dead voters should pull the lever for.
And, extorting prisoners to vote for her didn’t produce enough fraudulent ballots.
Neither did giving homeless “40’s” and cigarettes to vote for her in multiple precincts like the D-rats were caught doing in Milwaukee.
She’ll announce her candidacy for president, or her availability for VP. Wait for it…
Well, she was at least as successful as mayor as Kamala has been as VP.
So now they know what a woman is. I thought her pronouns were it’s / ‘ugly.
Good Riddance Fish Face.
If I ever had anything like that on my line, I’d cut it. And probably huck my fishing gear in a dumpster.
Fish-eyed fool.
AMF!
Good riddance. One down, how many dozens to go? The demonrat way…Blame everyone but yourself for your own shortcomings.

Tell me you are a toxic leader without telling me you are a toxic leader…..
Bingo.
We need less so-called ‘leaders’, more representatives.
Was her mentality tolerated or endured?
Given the size of her security team, the answer is self-evident.
Beetlejuice 2: bugout blues
As ol’ Poe suggested to Ed, “Beetle ran out of Juice…” 😜
Is her replacement going to be any better? Doubt it. Look at NYC. Got rid of de Blasio for Adams. Which is like replacing Stalin with Krushchev. Yeah, he’s better, but that’s only because the last guy was that bad. He’s still objectively terrible in his own right.
One look at the likes of Chicago, LA and NYC is a glimpse of what the left wants to inflict on the entire US of A.
Frankensteins Sister
More like his inbred cousin.
Apparently, saying Beetlejuice three times is making her go away.
Thanks. Now everyone in the social security waiting room is looking at me like I’ve lost my mind because I can’t quit giggling.
Lori, Lori, Lori!

I don’t expect much to change under either Vallas or Johnson. But, I DON’T FUCKING CARE!
You get the government you deserve, ShitCongo!
If she really thinks she made Shitcongo in any way a better place, she is a special breed of delusional.
She has the exact same person to blame for her failure as Juicy Smollet

Aw, she’ll actually have some skills now.
Lori HeavyHand will live to fight another day!
You gotta admit – she was terrible as a major but she was entertaining in a train wreck kind of way.
I knew DC’s Marion Barry. She’s no Marion Barry.
She couldn’t be caught on video smoking crack with a mistress and still get re-elected.
Rumor is she’s pretty good at smoking a crack… 😉
Dammit Poe, I just threw up in m mouth…
She has quite a record; only about 2800 people were murdered on her watch. Her record is eclipsed by Rahmbo, but his 4K plus was accomplished over two terms.
NAAAH, nothing is the fault of “Mayor Catfish”, it was ALL done by Donald Trump and the evil MAGA movement who wants to enslave everyone, just ask any UC Berzerkely-edjimikayted liberal moonbat!
