Chicago mayor tells Trump 'F-U' after tweet about Minneapolis looting
2020-05-30
[FoxNews] Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blasted President Trump and invoked an expletive Friday in response to his tweet after three days of protests in Minneapolis, Minn., when he called the protesters "THUGS" and tweeted that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

“Donald Trump’s comment last night was profoundly dangerous,” Lightfoot said Friday during a news conference to discuss plans to reopen the city. “And we must stand firm in solidarity and say this is totally unacceptable no matter who is the speaker."

“He wants to show failures on the part of Democratic local leaders, to throw red meat to his base," she added, according to WGN9. "His goal is to polarize, to destabilize local government and inflame racist urges. We can absolutely not let him prevail. And I will code what I really want to say to Donald Trump. It’s two words. It begins with F and it ends with U.”

#11  Lightgroot's while career has been about inflaming racism. When was elected because she was loyal to the Machine, is black, and obviously insane.

She's been ordering the police to shut down parties and church services, and when a confrontation that looks bad on video gets publicity, well, "the police misinterpreted their orders" and other shit.

Even before the Wuhan Flu, she'd redeveloping police from middle class neighborhoods to send them to high crime areas -- where they weren't allowed to do anything. So the crime started moving to the middle class neighborhoods.

#8  #3 Stop all federal funding to these places.

If the standard GOP playbook is followed, she'll get more money, not less.

The creatures that run the GOP desperately want to be loved by the cool kids of the left.

#7  I just can't wait to see the MSM denounce this Chicago mayor for her choice of words and being so "un-mayor-like".

#2  I hope Fox continues to play the video clip from Obama when, oddly enough, he uses the same word, THUGS.

#1  She has much in common with our local Pueraria Montana (Kudzu), a species of plant in the botanical family Fabaceae. She is also a sub-species
