Ousted Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot explained away her Tuesday election loss as a result of her being a “Black woman in America.”

Lightfoot faced eight challengers and finished Tuesday night’s election in third place, failing to get enough support to continue into a runoff election. Reporters pressed her on whether she believed she was treated unfairly during the campaign process.

“I’m a Black woman in America. Of course,” she responded, according to reports.

“Regardless of tonight’s outcome, we fought the right fights and we put this city on a better path,” Lightfoot said Tuesday night, adding that serving as Chicago’s mayor was “the honor of a lifetime.” . . .

“I am a Black woman,” she told the magazine. “Let’s not forget: certain folks, frankly, don’t support us in leadership roles.” (Read more from “Ousted Chicago Mayor Says She Was Treated Unfairly Because of Her Race, Gender” HERE)

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot — who last year proposed cutting $80 million from her city’s police budget — publicly pleaded with the feds on Monday to bolster the ranks of her city’s cops amid a surge in shootings and homicides.

Lightfoot called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to send agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to the Windy City for a six-month crackdown on illegal guns.

“We cannot continue to endure the level of violence that we are now experiencing,” Lightfoot said during a 40-minute speech. . .

The desperation move made Lightfoot — who’s said she opposes the “defund the police” movement — the second big-city Democratic mayor in days to announce dramatic steps to restore law and order as crime spirals out of control.

On Dec. 14, progressive San Francisco Mayor London Breed — who last year pledged to shift $120 million from the city’s law-enforcement budget to social spending — reversed course during a speech in which she vowed to end “the reign of criminals who are destroying our city.” (Read more from “Chicago Mayor Who Pushed $80M Defund of Cops Now Pleads for Feds to Save City” HERE)

A University of Chicago student blasted Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday for her “blatant lie” that crime was plummeting — just days after a fellow student was killed by a stray bullet on the train.

Audrey Unverferth, a rising senior, said she’s lost confidence in Lightfoot following the violence that besieged Chicago over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

“Lori Lightfoot had the nerve recently to say that crime in Chicago is on the decline — that’s a blatant lie,” Unverferth told “Fox & Friends.”

“Crime is not on the decline. Homicide and shooting rates are up and as we’ve seen, Chicago had its most murderous weekend of the year over the Fourth of July. Over 90 people were shot.”

In an op-ed for The Federalist, Unverferth said Lightfoot “should be ashamed” over the fatal shooting of her classmate, Max Solomon Lewis. (Read more from “Student Rips Chicago Mayor’s ‘Blatant Lie’ About Crime After Classmates Death” HERE)
