Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot accused President Donald Trump of targeting Democratic, female mayors in larger U.S. cities with "misogynistic and racist rants" after the president wrote a letter to her on the city's increasing violence.
"What's abundantly clear over this last month in particular, there's some obvious dots to connect as part of his regular rotation of criticisms," Lightfoot said during an unrelated press conference Monday. "He has started attacking and trying to undermine every big city Democratic mayor, especially the women."

Well, the jury’s out on Lori as a female, but the female mayors have not been doing a very good job. Many are black, but feckless Jenny in Seattle isn’t. They do have one thing in common: All the ones who seem unable to manage their cities are Democrats.

BTW, Lori, if this is a lame attempt to torpedo the female vote for Trump, the most intelligent among us do not travel in packs. We are not all raving feminists who vote our sex. We vote for the best person for the office. You and a lot of your mayoral cohorts are not the best of the bunch.

Wow, she scores a two-fer playing both her female and her lesbian card in one message. I am in awe.

I didn't realize she had such a sensitive soul. Too bad she doesn't think the same of her fellow black Chicagoians who are being killed and shot by other blacks. With a very hot 4th of July coming up I can only imagine the numbers. Seems to me the President is throwing a lot around to all the democrats in power. Mayor, time to do your job or pass the thorch. Your poor handling of the city has nothing to do with you being a woman, black or a demorat. You are just bad at your job.

That's because female mayors suck and they have the worst records of all in the country, because the vast majority have that big "D" in front of their names. They are basically token ribbon cutters and dinner planners but their liberal tendencies don't allow them to perform the entire job. Even in small towns they manage to muck things up. Imagine if we had a female president right now.

Thanks, #1, for saying it in a polite way. I was about to 4-letter word Ms Lightfoot's ability. (Now I can stay on the threads.)

Victim is the name of the game. Hence Black lives matter instead of the heretical ALL live matter. Race vs race, sex vs sex, straight vs whatever

Well, ms. mayor, it must suck to know that the only reason you were elected mayor is because you're a Black, female lesbian, not because you are smart or competent.

Just a sidebar OMG she has got to be one of the downright scariest looking people on the planet. No dear he's actually targeting cities where young black men shoot and often kill other young black men and several small children at a rate of 80 per weekend.
That's your problem. If Rahm (Mr. Crisis) was still mayor Trump would be chewing on him.

Honey, if the shoe fits, wear it. You own it. President Trump tried to help and you refused. Are you a human being who happens to be a black lesbian. We are getting tired of those who use racism and genderism and other such stupid ism's for an excuse when they mess up or can't handle a situation. She obviously can't handle it so "get out of the kitchen." People are dying and she is trying to blame anyone but the murderers. It has to stop!

All he's done is point out that most of the worst rioting is in cities that are led by Democrats and have been so for years. Coincidently, three have women mayors - Seattle, Chicago, and Atlanta.

Can’t help the DEMOCRATIC voters voted for a DEMOCRATIC female mayor. You get what you voted for and these mayors are worthless beyond belief!

Why even comment on the idea of a female being any better or worse as a Mayor or anything else? It's a false flag. President Trump has said no such thing nor has he eluded to the fact that their incompetence has anything to do with their gender. He criticized Jay Pritzker in the same letter and last I looked he was male. Same for many of the others he's criticized. It's based on performance or lack there of. No reason to even be baited into this lunatic's gender or race as a reason for the criticism.
She should be embarrassed to even bring such a topic up when people are dying in her streets by the hundreds. But, she's a leftist so I shouldn't expect anything more.

So playing the race card isn't getting her off the hook, so she's going to try the female card? I thought there was no such thing as gender.

Somebody remind the Mayor that President Trump was referring to the documented statistic showing that 17 out of the top 20 cities having the most serious crime had Democrat mayors. That's a fact she can't hide from.

Everyone should avoid recognizing that most, but not all democrat mayors, especially those of what used to be the fair sex, are particularly incompetent. Cover your eyes and ears and you won't notice.

CHILDREN are being shot in Chicago...caught in cross-fire between rival gangbangers or just garden-variety thugs and all this idiot can do is complain that she's being picked on because she's a woman. Why do the people of Chicago put up with this? It is beyond my comprehension.

All you had to hear was the taped phone conference call between Lightfoot and the City Aldermen. She deflects ALL blame and redirects it towards her opponents. Not a trace of humility, empathy, responsibility, or maturity. A typical Democrat, in other words.

She's crazy and foolish. Why doesn't she ask for federal assistance in dealing with the crime wave in the black neighborhoods? What looks more like racism is letting these areas devolve into un-policed murder zones.

The now failed dem pol cities are in the dumpster because of their decades old dem policy leadership. They are reaping what they have shown in each of these failed dem cities and they cannot legitimately play the blame game yet again, targeting anyone else! Dems, you made those cities what they are today so YOU can fix 'm!

I don’t think that President Trump ever called out female Mayors specifically because of their gender, what he has been doing is calling out totally incompetent leftist and liberal Democrat Mayors who have been running the inner cities where just about all the rioting, burning and looting of private and public property has been going on. Just because some of those Mayors happen to be females, that is just tough!

She's the mayor of the murder capital of the United States. Uneasy lie the head that wears the crown. If she can't stand the criticism then resign. These murders and shootings are happening on her watch. Do something to fix the problem.

How does that thing qualify as a female human?
Maybe a female lizard
Or a female snake
And as a mayor?
She won by default
Just like deblablio in ny
Who voted, about 15 people?
Who runs these elections?
In ny
In Chicago
In California?
The ‘rats!
It ain’t Trumps fault you live there!
Nor is it OUR fault...
Fix your home towns and states!

This moron not only has a lightfoot she's a little light between the ears. With these communists its all about race and gender. It has nothing to do with them shooting children and having lawless communities. You can't even sit in your own freaking house without bullets flying through the windows. What this woman really is, is a P.O.G. Time to stand up and start calling them out for what they really are.

But perhaps, it's too hot out there, and she ought to get back in the kitchen.

So, being an incompetent mayor and destroying your city is OK if you are a female?
