Judicial Watch:
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch today filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation and reporter Thomas Catenacci against Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot for violating their First Amendment Rights and Catenacci’s right to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment (Catenacci et al v. Lightfoot (No. 1:21-cv-02852)).
The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.
On May 18, 2021, Mayor Lightfoot’s office informed multiple reporters that she would grant one-on-one interviews, “only to Black or Brown journalists.” The next day, the mayor released a letter doubling down on her discriminatory policy. Since that time, the Mayor has granted at least one interview request from a self-identified Latino reporter and none to white reporters.
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after Catenacci, a white male, emailed Mayor Lightfoot’s office requesting a one-on-one interview with the Mayor. The office never replied to the request or to two additional follow up emails from Catenacci.
The lawsuit alleges Mayor Lightfoot purposefully discriminated against Catenacci, “because of his race by stating that she would only grant interview requests from ‘journalists of color’….” more here
…nice that SOMEONE still remembers that the 14th Amendment swings both ways…too bad they won’t be granted certiorari when this works its way up, because Biden will be told to write an executive order stating that White people aren’t allowed to use American courts because they’re all evil White supremacists, and Roberts will do whatever the guy holding the photo envelope that commemorates his romps on Ebstein Island TELLS him to do…
…and speaking of demons…there is the Lightfoot.

Shouldn’t the lawsuit have been filed as Catenacci et al v. Akbar?
