Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Loses By Stunning Margin

Lori Lightfoot has become the first Chicago mayor to not be re-elected in 40 years. That’s quite the fall from grace after being celebrated as the first black woman and first openly gay mayor of America’s third largest city.

The final results show Lightfoot falling far behind frontrunner Paul Vallas’ 33.8 percent with a paltry 17.1 percent, earning her third place behind Brandon Johnson who earned 20.3 percent.

As to why she lost, she may be in denial. “I’m a black woman in America. Of course,” declared Lightfoot when asked by the media if she had received unfair treatment.

The Chicago Tribune has a different opinion on Lightfoot’s loss writing,

“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’… But homicides, mostly from gun violence, spiked dramatically in 2020 and 2021 from 500 murders in 2019 to 776 and 804 in the next two years, respectively. Shootings and carjackings also skyrocketed.”

The Chicago Sun-Times report crime rates have increased since the mayor’s promise to end the “epidemic of gun violence that devastates families, shatters communities, holds children hostage to fear in their own homes.”

Chicago City Alderman Anthony Beale was not impressed with Lightfoot’s leadership saying, “Trying to destroy people instead of trying to work with people. Politics is a game of addition. It’s not a game of subtraction. All she did was subtract from Day One,” Beale declared to the Sun-Times. “Coming out of the gate at inauguration, she tried to embarrass the entire City Council as being this corrupt body, and she was here to save the day. But as it turns out she was the least transparent, least productive, least cooperative administration I have ever seen in my life.”

Diana Dejacimo, who was a victim of robbery in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, stated on Fox & Friends First, “I believe that people have just had enough. My message has been, ‘Go out and change.’ Regime change is the only way we’re going to fix this, and I think this was a loud and clear message that this woke agenda is not working for Chicago.”
