The tenure of departing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been disastrous for the city. Throughout her four-year term, she permitted the city to be consumed by unbridled lawlessness and brutality.

Retail giants like Walmart claim to have suffered annual losses amounting to tens of millions of dollars, due to their operations in Chicago. This prompted the announcement of closing four stores.
Despite voters reaffirming their commitment to progressive ideals by electing radical socialist Brandon Johnson, Lightfoot ascribes her loss to “right-wing forces intent on toppling a big-city mayor.”
She attributes these “forces” to racism and sexism that she already cited as factors contributing to her defeat. Lightfoot informed journalists, “I’m a black woman in America — of course.”

The former Chicago Mayor further added, “When an individual wielding the largest megaphone and occupying the grandest stage assails you in the manner that Trump attacked us, it sets in motion a series of forces that prove challenging to restrain.”
