Lightfoot snaps at reporter after question of 'going too easy' on Chicago looters: 'Do not bait us'

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?"

Little lib potentate-wanna-be’s have been doing more than the usual snapping back lately.

Think they’re being stretched a wee bit??? -— Maybe to a breaking point as the Peter Principle has kicked them in the butt?

Mayor Lightfoot had already said “We can’t CONTINUE to allow this to happen” as well as covering for police inaction (IMHO) In May and June when she said “ the righteous uprising in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.”

“”Asked and answered,” Brown jumped in.””

Golly - he’s as sharp as the mayor. THAT wasn’t a question, sir!!!

When the mayor decide to wake up? That was sure a long nap she took.

A little competition always brings out the best in the markets. Chicago, Portland, NYC, Seattle, Baltimore, DC, etc. all competing for “America’s Biggest Progressive Shithole”.

It is a tough competition. Like dumbest person in Congress, or the country's worst mayor.

Put a “Benjamin” in front of her face as bait and see how high she jumps.

There are no words to describe this insane woman except perhaps synonyms including Waters, Pelosi, Omar, Tlaib, Payapal, Hillary, Witmer, Durkin, and those women on the House No-Intelligence Committee.

She should be used for bait.

Now that's just cruelty to the animals she'd be bait for.

I am sad to say this but Blacks are unable to govern responsibly. Stop putting them in positions in which they have no chance of successfully performing.
Look at the many examples we can cite.

She looks like an alien from Mars — or a giant bug created in a nuclear accident.
