UNEXPECTEDLY! ‘I’m a Black Woman in America:’ Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Blames Election Loss on Racism, Sexism.
Chicago has been a Democrat-monopoly stronghold since 1931. The last time the city’s voters elected a Republican to be their mayor was 1927. Almost a century later, Lightfoot calling her (now thankfully former) constituents sexists and racists is yet another reminder of how out of touch she was. Similarly, her administration being forced to deal with a pandemic that it was completely unprepared for simply “accelerated the contradictions,” as her fellow socialists like to say.
