Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) doubled down on her “insurrectionist” language after her “call to arms” earlier in the week by aiming her vitriol at the “MAGA crowd” and the Supreme Court all while failing to address her own backyard as her constituents faced over 800 homicides in 2021.
On Monday, following the leak of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Lightfoot tweeted out a visceral response to the possibility that Roe v. Wade would be overturned before the end of June. “This moment,” she wrote addressing the LGBTQ+ community, “has to be a call to arms.”
She went on to say that “we will not surrender our rights without a fight,” and after being challenged on her violent rhetoric, instead of issuing a retraction, deleting the tweet, or softly walking it back, she behaved as all zealots do and doubled down.
The single most patriotic thing a person can do is fight for their rights. You better believe I’m going to fight for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights and every other freedom the MAGA crowd or Supreme Court is trying to take away.

“The single most patriotic thing a person can do is fight for their rights,” Lightfoot wrote Thursday. “You better believe I’m going to fight for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights and every other freedom the MAGA crowd or Supreme Court is trying to take away.”
It remains unclear if Lightfoot is aware that the Supreme Court does not have the ability to take away or confer rights, (part of the essential problem with Roe from the start), but it is abundantly clear her focus is anywhere but the streets of her crime-ridden city.

Lightfoot has remained deaf to her citizens’ pleas for an end to the violence. While many solely called out her inaction, others were willing to accept her vocal opposition to the potential Supreme Court decision so long as she actually took action to help Chicagoans faced with constant threats.
I respect that & support anyone in doing so. But may I ask as Mayor, what are you doing to fight for the rights of Chicagoans to live in a safe & prosperous city? We’ve had horrific shootings in the last week and chaotic riots in business district, but complete silence on this. https://t.co/h5Is68L24w

Why don’t you focus on the hideous crime and murder rates in your city

You can’t even keep the residents of #Chicago from being riddled w/bullets on a DAILY basis. Soft on crime policies will do that. RESIGN! Be an activist for #abortion in your free time. Right now, your city is a hellscape under YOUR watch. Don’t blame #MAGA.

How about the freedom to walk down the street in one of the largest cities in America without worrying about getting robbed, shot, or murdered by someone who should’ve still been locked up? Will you fight for that right?
— Joe Hinds (@JoeHinds24) May 12, 2022
No, instead of addressing those legitimate concerns, Lightfoot accused her detractors of being hypocrites over January 6, even though Republican officials, including President Donald Trump, were adamant in their pleas for peace as the events at the Capitol transpired.

But, with a record as poor as hers, all she can do is play the victim and sling mud at her opponents in hopes of rallying enough support from low information voters for her potential reelection bid for 2023 as she ignores the rampant crime in the city.
797 homicides last year.

That’s “797 ultra-late term abortions” when a democRat is mismanaging things.

And it isn’t merely the citizens of Chicago who have projected her mismanagement. William J. Kelly, formerly of Newsmax had asked Lightfoot in April, “Across the street, we had a police officer on duty the victim of a hit and run. We have Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent Mile, now referred to as the Mile of Fear. The Water Tower place has thrown the keys back to the lender, they say they don’t want to be in Chicago anymore. Real Chicagoans are asking me how could you possibly even consider running for re-election as mayor of the city of Chicago after all the harm you’ve caused.”
“Well I disagree with you fundamentally and I don’t think I need to address and dignify your comments one second further… next question,” she replied demonstrating that states’ rights, as ratified through the 10th Amendment to the Constitution, are more concerning to her than the lives of her own voters.

Lightfoot should be forced to wear an oversized mask ALL THE TIME.

So it begins: The talking heads and shrews, like Lori LeadHead, will now spout the same talking points repeated Ad-Nauseum on their Lib fake news, politihack speeches, and wherever else the Dem minions might gather ~ They will all use the same words, the same context, and the same sneers of contempt and derision to drive their disingenuous points home. Get ready for the Dem Playbook Show!
She needs to be post-birth aborted
All life forms have a means of population control. Humans use war, abortion, and Chicago gang shootings.
Give your heads a shake people of Slaughter city .
There is no where out ,get out .
This guppy is out to allow anyone white dead .
She /he is a hating racist .
When President Trump wins ,he will clean up Chicago in a NY minute.
Tar ,feather ,piss on her and run her outta town on a rail to Gitmo.
What puzzles me is why has there been little effort to recall Beetlejuice. “You reap what you sow” is appropriate here. Get rid of her now. Don’t wait for the next election where there is even a slim chance she/he/it could be reelected.
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
That is one assugly bulldyke… corrupt as the gasses from hell.
A headline of “Lightfoot Babbles” would have sufficed. Does this ditz know what her job is? If she has national aspirations she is on cloud 95.
Priorities of protecting the safety and well-being of the great people of Chicago is not in the interest of Lightfoot. See must resign for the best interest of those who need leadership not partisan Politics
Go for the hot dogs stay for the….murder???
No better warrior for women’s reproductive rights than a GAY WOMEN. What the actual fuk is wrong with these complete rejects??
Put beetle juice on the fatality list for slaughter city .
Used to go to Chicago for some weekends yrs ago . We really had good times .
With a bitch like the beetle juice guppy ,
I would not piss in her mouth if it was on fire .
Total loser , eventually killing you all .
She is just like all Democrats, does not care what the “People” want- they do what they want-and that is why the country has imploded in just 15 months — they are incompetent lifetime taxpayer parasites who never ran even a successful hot dog wagon.
Parasites is the perfect description.
Poor Lori just needs a real man to come and show her what she’s missing.
You could not bribe or liquor up the most carnally obsessed male to do her.
What man in his right mind would want to touch that thing?
Everyone knows how this rabid anti-white anti-male demented incompetent freak has to be dealt with; some group of citizens and/or cops just have to do it.
One group of citizens that is not going to get her to change is the black community. They have been letting Democrats like Lori screw them over for 50+ years. They sure seem to like it. Come November they will all vote Democratic again. Then come Christmas they will be crying for all their fellow blacks who were killed by other blacks and wonder why. I’ll tell you why, because the Democratic Party doesn’t give a sh*i about you. Never has and never will. Why should they, you’ll vote them in again regardless. You have no one to blame but yourselves.
this is the problem with democrats. they don’t look to solve the obvious problems set before them they seek to go after conservatives and ignore the real problems.
The never ending examples of the deluded progressive mind!
Lori Lightweight’s party work everyday to strip away freedoms and make the Constitution irrelevant with their fascistic ideology. Oh, when it comes to killing babies in the womb, the depraved progressive democrat party gets a shot of adrenaline…. The hat..ed I feel for the Progressive Democrat Fascists runs deep!
A member of my family is in Chicago for a wedding this weekend. Can’t rest until he is back home! The citizens need to make sure neither she nor anyone like her is ever elected to run the city again should they want law and order!
To be clear…..we left Chicago and ILLINOIS after over 60 years because Chicago is now a crap hole circling the toilet of Illinois.
Lightfoot has been possibly the greatest failure in Chicago history (and that’s saying a lot,). Lightfoot is clueless, does NOT care about the citizens of Chicago while seemingly can’t find enough intersectionality groups to care about.
Her abject ignorance on SCOTUS and the constitution is embarrassing to all chicagoans….newsflash, Lori, the possible SCOTUS decision does absolutely nothing to women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, or any other of your anti-Chicago and anti-American windmills.
Do Negros realize how we see them as uncivilized? They Vote for..ANYTHING..Ghetto……Negros//ARE..the..MOST..Racist.
Beetlejuice is just another liberal groomer that cares about nothing but herself, but keep on preaching to those woke MSM sheep, they love ya Gory Lori…or do they?!
The moron Chicago voters (redundancy) are getting exactly what they deserve by electing this empty headed clown.
Is “hideous duke” capitalized?
Mayor Lightfoot Babbles! Enuf said!
So Chicago, are you going to re-elect her? If so, then you gt what you deserve.
Nothng against ‘babbling’…I babble, lot of folks babble, a lot make sense. this windbag doesn’t even come close in her rants.
widow of RET/DAV/USA central Florida
With all these murders in slaughter city
Why don’t they add the guppy to the list .
