I can picture ex-Mayor Lightfoot being a semiregular on Joy Reid at MSNBC

On Tuesday night, Mayor Lightfoot was rejected by the voters. She came in 3rd place and will start packing her bags for a post-political life. My guess is that she'll end up at MSNBC but maybe I'm just cynical today. Silvio Canto, Jr.

Lightfoot Loss Blamed On Rampant Murderphobia | Babylon Bee   . . ."Murderphobia is still an unfortunate reality here in Chicago, and it is the reason I was not reelected as this city's mayor," said Lightfoot to reporters. "People were so busy being afraid of being shot in the face by gang members that they forgot about what an amazing mayor I was. Let me be clear: murderphobia is racist. Murderphobia is bigoted. Murderphobia is NOT ok. Full stop.". . .

Lori out -- but will anything change?
Bad timing also can’t explain Lightfoot’s inability to get along with people and a relationship with the City Council so contentious at least seven members of her own leadership team abandoned ship, endorsing other mayoral candidates.

Lori Lightfoot Effectively Calls Chicago Residents Racist, Sexist After Election Loss – RedState  . . ."Naturally, like any good radical leftist, Lightfoot took no personal responsibility for her loss, choosing to blame it instead on others. In this case, the entire city of Chicago is guilty of being sexist and racist as reported by the New York Post:

“I’m a black woman in America. Of course,” she replied when asked by a reporter if she had been treated unfairly.

“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.

"Apparently, the city that elected her to the mayorship in the first place suddenly became racist and sexist during her time as that city’s mayor.

"The truth is that Lightfoot took a crime-ridden city filled with violence and murder and made it worse. Under her reign, Chicago’s violent crime rate increased a whopping 37 percent while auto thefts skyrocketed by 74 percent. Corporations abandoned the city for safer places as the homeless population increased to unmanageable proportions.". . .

If They Are Smart Enough to Kick Out Lightfoot, Why Aren’t They Smart Enough to Elect a Republican? - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

"It amazes me that voters ever elected that creep in the first place."

. . ."Or consider how Mayor Lightfoot campaigned: “I’m a Black woman and, let’s not forget, some folks frankly don’t support us in leadership roles.”
"Yeah. Also some people frankly don’t support morons who lead a once-great city into the dungheap of murderous crime. In 2021, under Lightfoot’s enlightened footwork, the city suffered the most murders it had recorded in a quarter-century. Plus 3,651 shootings — comprising 1,415 more than had occurred only two years earlier. Chicago had more homicides that year under Lightfoot than any other city in America.". . .
