Talk about snowflakes.
Recently on MSNBC, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot complained that President Trump only highlights the extremely high rate of shootings and murders in her city to use as a “political punching bag.”
According to Breitbart, host Andrea Mitchell asked, “I want to also ask you about the violence this past weekend in Chicago, at least 60 shootings. The president jumped all over this, comparing it to — saying the city is worse than Afghanistan. your reaction as you’re trying to come to grips with all of this?”
Lightfoot whined and said, “Well, look, if you go back over many years, President Trump has said a lot of disparaging things about the city of Chicago. He likes to use us as a political punching bag. But if the president was really committed to helping us deal with our violence, he would do some easy things. One is, he would push for universal background checks. He would push for an assault weapons ban. He would push to make sure that people who were banned from getting on airplanes can’t get guns. This is the kind of thing that federal leadership can do.”
“But as long as we are challenged with having states surrounding us, notably Indiana, that has very lax gun laws, where somebody can drive across the border and literally load up a vehicle with military-grade weapons and bring them back to the city of Chicago, we’re going to continue to be challenged,” she said. “We’re doing an all-hands-on-deck strategy. We’re really focusing on the root causes of the violence. But fundamentally we have too many illegal guns on our street, and that is a direct result of a failure of federal leadership, which is why we need change in November. And we need the kind of leadership that Joe Biden is going to bring to our country.”

hahahahahaha,what a hoe!
Shes a complete moron and her city is out of control! Oh wait, that describes all of the cities where Democrats have been in control for a protracted period of time. Seattle, San Francisco, Baltimore, Minneapolis, New york etc. Need I say anymore?
That’s the way the communist party works they whine when they don’t get their way or when I want to disobey their master of the federal government right away they want help when they get in trouble but they don’t know how to obey the rules are the laws of the constitution otherwise. They don’t deserve anything when they disobey the rules and they don’t go to prison. She wants to hide behind your color because she’s black that’s the magic word. It don’t fly anymore with people, that dog don’t hunt anymore as they say!
Yeah right…a democrat mayor doing what democrats do…blame everyone else but their own policies!
Get rid of your damn gun control and your crime problem will drop quickly but since you are a democrat you have no sense as to what can stop violence, only ways to increase it. As to Indiana they follow the same laws as any other FFL dealer would in their gun stores. Take your self over and try to buy a firearm and see just how much red tape you go though. “We’re really focusing on the root causes of the violence. But fundamentally we have too many illegal guns on our street, and that is a direct result of a failure of federal leadership” The only thing you have right on that statement is the fact you have TO MANY ILLEGAL FIREARMS. You dont want a gang database only some one else to blame just like the rest of the democrats.
I would like to see the tracing statistics on the guns the police collect from these gang bangers. Prove they are coming from Indiana, because they could be traced to a dealer or dealers if that is the case.
The real problem is your revolving door justice system that rarely prosecutes and imprisons those caught with these guns. What’s the point of arresting them if you just let them go? Why should they stop carrying if they get off with a slap on the wrist, if even that?
You do realize Mayor that it is a Federal Felony for a felon to possess a firearm. Have you asked the Feds to prosecute?
You are the typical Dem, not accepting any responsibility, and blaming it on others. The solution starts in your city, your state, and with your prosecutors. Chicago, like New York, and Baltimore have strict gun laws, depriving their citizens of ownership for self defense. Maybe that is part of the problem Mayor, not the illegal guns, but the lack of legal gun ownership.
All I read was he should be doing this or that.. hey Lightfoot why dont you get off your soap and try doing something fir Chicago instead of whining and bitching.
If she is being bullied, too bad she can’t be run out of office. It would be to the benefit
of Chicago to run this incompetent and imbecilic creature. it is time that Chicago puts
someone in office that has some intelligence and common sense and cares about the
people in the city and not just the Democratic Party. She is a total loser.
So, let me get this straight. This bug-eyed moron actually thinks that the shooters would purchase their guns the legal way and undergo background checks? Chicago, wake up, and recall this idiot, especially those of you who live in the part of the city getting shot up.
