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?

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.

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
I am making a compensation of more than 3800 dollars every week, that is great. Over a year back I was in an awful condition, jobless and ledger with just couple of bucks. Because of one of my companions who demonstrated to me a way where I could accumulate myself and making normal of 50-60 dollars for each hour… Amazing thing about it was that necessity for the activity is essential composing and solid internet…If you figure this could be for you at that point discover more here.

All life forms have a means of population control. Humans use war, abortion, and Chicago gang shootings.
I am making $92 an hour working from home. i was greatly surprised at the same time as my neighbour advised me she changed into averaging $ninety five however I see the way it works now. I experience mass freedom now that I’m my non-public boss.
that is what I do….. http://www.incomehd.com
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.
