Lightfoot on Crime Increase: ‘All Roads Lead to COVID’
Breitbart ^ | 07/26/2021 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 07/27/2021 6:30:11 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with The New York Times‘ “Sway” podcast released on Monday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) stated that with the recent crime surge in Chicago, “all roads lead to COVID.”

Lightfoot stated, [relevant remarks begin around 16:00] “Why do I think that this is happening in this moment here in Chicago and perhaps also across the country? To me, all roads lead to COVID. When you think about public safety, public safety is really an ecosystem. Public safety isn’t just cops on dots, meaning police officers occupying spaces in high crime areas across the city. Every part of that public safety ecosystem was crushed by COVID. Our county partners, the prosecutor, the courts, the jails similarly retreated. Our Cook County court system for criminal trials still hasn’t fully reopened 16 months later.”

Silly lesbian. She should know that all of Chicago’s crime problems are a result of Climate Change.

Yes indeed.

Translation: Beetlejuice has been convinced the public is scared enough, and stupid enough to buy this nonsense. Besides, she and those of her ilk have nothing else to offer.

And COVID leads to the unvaxxed, and the unvaxxed lead to conservatives, and conservatives lead to white supremacy.

Lightfoot spews out more mindless garbage in just one minute than most people do in their entire lives.

Somewhere, at the source of every malady that bedevils left-wingers in their quest to achieve their Earthly utopia, is a problem that can’t be solved. Even if they have to make up an unsolvable problem to blame their problems on.

So...Democrats brought in arsonists to torch buildings in Democrat cities to burn out coronaviruses?

I take it then that the looting was to remove products from store shelves to prevent multiple customers and staff from handling them and spreading the Wuhanic Plague.

I also take it that the high Chicago murder rate is an attempt to stop COVID spreaders from infecting others. Got it.

With the rise in violent crime across America, I’ve noticed many lefties coming out lately claiming they never called for defunding the police. I imagine they’re getting a look at the polling numbers and see what’s headed their way. If Republicans are smart, they’ll run their comments on a continuous loop from now through election day.

“Her way of saying, “Trump’s Fault”! “

If you look at her public statements from two years back, that’s exactly what she was saying then. Now that Trump’s out of the picture, she needs a new boogie man to blame for her incompetence.

Last week it was “guns coming in from Indiana” - when that was proved false, it is now COVID’s fault. Before that the high killing rate was Trump’s fault.

And the media report every breathless word she says - unquestioned, no matter how stupid. To question her honestly is racist and homophobic.

Yet in Chicago:

July To Date

Shot & Killed: 91

Shot & Wounded: 447

Total Shot: 538

Total Homicides: 96

And the media repeatedly let her get away with it, no matter how ridiculous the accusation.

They would never question the word of a black, female, lesbian Democrat.

Never.
