Lori Lightfoot will NOT be mayor of Chicago. She came in 3rd place and is blaming her loss on racism and gender.
We are not sure if she is aware, but she WAS the mayor. She WON the previous election. Did the voters just become racist misogynists and were just pretending last time? That has to be it. Chicago has officially become MAGA country.

Who wants to be the first to tell her?

We volunteer as tribute. Really, we just want to see one person tell her that she was the mayor and ask how the racists overtook the election this time.
She was the incumbent… https://t.co/AgfzAQMWAR

We are not the only people who wanted to point out the fact that she did indeed win over those same voters in the past.
Wait until @LoriLightfoot hears about the results of the 2018 mayoral election. Boy is she going to feel silly. https://t.co/3PlFzHf5tG

ok but how did she become mayor in the first place? https://t.co/zCX6zb5tAO

The racists were just giving her a shot, you know, so they could say how bad she was or something.
Not the rampant crime and murder rate? But racism. Sighhh

Her job performance had no impact on the race whatsoever. *insert eye roll*
Not historic violence and corruption.

That too. She just forgot to mention a few things like climate change, homophobia, and ‘the Karens’ who did not like her dancing.
She missed homophobia. 😂😂😂 Might as well check ALL the boxes if you’re going to play the cards.

HA! That one made us cackle. Many apologies to Jussie, we had no idea Chicago was indeed MAGA country.
Selfishly, we hope to see Lori Lightfoot show up in politics again, simply because she offers us fabulous material.
