Lori Lightfoot Rushes To Blame Racism And Sexism For Getting Trounced In Chicago Mayor Race
After getting absolutely obliterated in the Chicago Mayoral race on Tuesday night, Lori Lightfoot pulled out the old Democrat playbook of blaming racism and sexism.
According to the NY Post, here’s how an exchange went with reporters after the loss:
“I’m a black woman in America. Of course,” she replied when asked by a reporter if she had been treated unfairly.
But she called being Chicago’s mayor “the honor of a lifetime.”
“Regardless of tonight’s outcome, we fought the right fights and we put this city on a better path,” Lightfoot said, as she urged her fellow mayors around the US not to fear being bold.
Paul Vallas, an outspoken opponent of Lightfoot during her three-year mayoral leadership, received nearly twice as many votes as Lightfoot. Vallas is expected to advance with Brandon Johnson to the April 4 runoff election for the Chicago mayor role. Vallas and Johnson received 35% and 20% of the votes, respectively. Lightfoot, the incumbent, is nowhere near to being able to make the runoff, receiving just 16% of votes.
