Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) attributed the recent uptick in violence in the United States’ major cities such as hers to the coronavirus pandemic.

Lightfoot claimed there was “no question” there was a “COVID-related impact on the public safety system.” She also emphasized the need to fight the root causes of violence in cities like Chicago, which she said was poverty, lack of jobs and lack of hope.

She is a walking punch line.

‘No Question’ Coronavirus to Blame for Recent Rise in Violence...

Duh. All zombies are violent.

[Veggie Todd]

ChinaFlu - is there anything it can’t do?

[rightwingcrazy]

“No question”, because if you ask the question, she will hurt you.

“She also emphasized the need to fight the root causes of violence in cities like Chicago, which she said was poverty, lack of jobs and lack of hope.”

Firing police officers ought to fix that, eh Beetlejuice?...

[blueunicorn6]

Let’s go Lori!

[Harpotoo]

That’s the smallest part...

Black on Black crime is never addressed by COWARDLY Dems!

Lack of Jobs? Didn't African American unemployment fall to record lows under Donald Trump? Did that reduce violence in the African American community?

I don't think so.

Hint, Mayor Lightfoot: Think destruction of the African American family by liberal policies. The dad is replace with the gang.

[CatOwner]

The sad part is the number of citizens who actually believe what she said.

[Steve_Seattle]

1. Poverty: One way out of poverty is to get a job.
2. Lack of jobs: Millions of jobs are unfilled.
3. Lack of hope: Because people like you tell them they have no hope.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Soros DA’s revolving door justice has nothing to do with it?

[ViLaLuz]

No way! I thought climate change was the cause.

[dragnet2]

A random picked person at Walmart would have made a better mayor than this racist screw worm. It’s hard to believe people like this are the one’s calling the shots in these big cities. Down right frightening.

[Enlightened1]

100% nonsense.

The Mayor of Chicago and her political decisions is what is responsible.

[TiGuy22]

I thought it was climate change.

[chief lee runamok]

lighthead, a walking, semi-coherent talking, babylon bee.

[Enlightened1]

The Democrats like to blame Covid on every dumb decision they make.

[Bayan]

No question Lightfoot is a lying, incompetent piece of Leftist garbage.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

No, it’s because Chicago has large areas in which civilization has collapsed, and there are too many bad people there. The city government, Democrat for 90 years, bears the blame for a lot of that.

[Kevmo]

That would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.
