I’ll believe this when I see it.
Lightfoot, who won Chicago’s mayoral election by a near-50 point margin on Tuesday, is the city’s first black female (and first openly gay) mayor. She campaigned largely as an outsider to the Chicago machine. Lightfoot is, herself, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, who served at the head of Chicago’s Police Board and Police Accountability Board after leaving legal practice for public service.
“We cannot create the perception that if you’re rich or famous or both that you got one set of justice and for everybody else, it’s something much harsher. That won’t do, and we need to make sure that we have a criminal justice system that has integrity,” she continued. “The state’s attorney’s office has to provide more information about the rationale for the decision to drop the charges.”
When asked about the evidence for prosecuting Smollett, and whether she believed Smollett was innocent of the charges, which came from both the prosecutor’s office and a grand jury, Lightfoot was non-committal.
“I saw … a very compelling case,” she said, “with videotapes, witness statements, and other information that looked like he had staged a hoax. And if that happens, he’s got to be held accountable.”
She’ll be good. She’s one of us.
the lesbo checks out the homo?
WELL! … don’t tell me you weren’t thinking it! somebody had to say it!

They really push the fact that she is gay.
Pete Buttigieg, the democrat mayor running for president? Not so much.
Seriously, I keep seeing this guy pop up and I only recently found out he is gay.
I don’t care but I can’t help think that the MSM is covering this faggot until he gets more popular, trying not to knee-cap him since he likes it hard up the ass.
Otherwise, why don’t they lead with “Openly gay mayor…”?
I don’t know enough about Lightfoot yet to have an informed opinion, but I do know that her election by such a large margin is a deep, deep blow to the Chicago Machine and its institutionalized corruption. And that’s a Very Good Thing all by itself. Time will tell.
Someone answer me this,
If she wasn’t openly gay, would the story read something like this:
Who were the others that would have been the first if only they were openly gay? And would they also be addressed as being gay but not openly in every single article? Does this mean there will no longer ever be a gay mayor because they wouldn’t be the first? If there was a second, would they be addressed as the city’s second openly gay mayor, like a savings bank?
As per her looking into things, whatever it takes to remove eyes from Chicago’s and Illinois’ crippling debt all thanks to reckless democrats.
Skin color and what makes you horny are so important when choosing a mayor.
This is what they all say before the are taken to the woodshed.
I have my doubts. Real Justice is now only for us worker peasants.
Look for the entire Jussie story to go away the moment Rahm steps down.
In Chicago anyway. The federal case, I think that will continue.
Yeah right… She’ll change her tune when the LGBTQ Nazis get her straight about being homosexual is all that matter to the first gay, black woman mayor of a massive municipality.
That’s where lefist tool votes LGBTQ count on to potentially elect the next Demoncrat President after 2024 exist.
She’ll learn and switch here focus to investigating to make sure Juicey wasn’t mistreated by the CPD.
Oh Jesus Suffering Christ, are we ever in need of you? Please come back to us. Please!
Is she Gorton’s Lightfoot? Something smells fishy.
I guess this means Mooch isn’t Shadow Mayor after all. Maybe somebody is showing Bigfoot Beard where the boundaries are, in case she decides to dabble in the Chicago power structure again. And good luck with that Preezydental Amusement Center, Barky.
Close Chalupa but the Edmund Fitzgerald wrecked in Lake Superior, not Lake Michigan…
Give her a chance.
Anon: “give her a chance”
Fool me once…

That’s hilarious. Didn’t realize Rahmbo was such a loser.
black homo female..that’ll work for chicongo.
