Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) on Monday scolded a reporter who asked if widespread looting and violence that grabbed national headlines Sunday night was the result of courts and prosecutors "going too easy on looters the last time" it occurred in the Windy City.
“It almost sounds as though you’re saying this is — the reason [this is happening] is because the courts and the prosecutors were not doing their job, that they’re going too easy on the looters from the last time around," ABC-7 political reporter Craig Wall asked Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown.
“No, no, don’t — do not bait us," Lightfoot injected after some crosstalk. "Do not bait us. This is a serious situation. People are concerned about their safety. Officers are concerned about their safety. So don’t bait us."
"When we do [identify them] and we do make those arrests, our expectation is that this is going to be treated with the level of seriousness that it should be, period," the mayor continued. "Don’t try to bait us, mischaracterize, pit one against the other — we’re not playing that. We are in a serious situation here, and we need a serious response. That’s what we’re saying, period.”
"Not trying to bait you, ma’am," Wall responded.
"Asked and answered," Brown jumped in. "Do you have another question?"

Ya gets what’s ya votes for.
Strong words...again...and again...and again...
She’s a complete shitshow.
Lightfoot should be called LightLoafers.
And the fools keep voting Democrat
LootFoot: This is deadly serious now. At least temporarily. Any more looting will be met with severe scolding of anyone critical of me.
Mayor Grady is a reprehensible creature.
Lightloafers
Yet, she and other Communist Democrat mayors attempted to bait President Trump into a Kent State moment.
Lightfoot should be called LightLoafers.
More appropriate would be “Lightweight”.
White Man Law does not apply
“No, no, don’t — do not bait us,” Lightfoot injected after some crosstalk. “Do not bait us
It was a reasonable question(for once), D-bag.
you cant allow people to deflect valid questions by calling them racist
they are elected officials for all
there is zero serious response however
one must say it and point it out
zero serious response
Which is to say, with absolutely no seriousness at all. This lowlife needs to get the hook sooner rather than later.
The chickens are coming home to roost for these Mayors.
Now they want to stop the riots while staying on the side of the rioters.
It’s not going to work.
If they ever do put an end to the riots, the obvious question from the citizens will be, “Why didn’t you do that day one?”
