'Voters grew tired of Lori Lightfoot's politics, not her race or gender. After all, the voters elected her mayor as a black woman in America. They also held her accountable for being a lousy mayor and ultimately told her 'Bye Bye Bye,''CWTremo writes.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her reelection bid in humiliating fashion on Tuesday, obtaining only 17.1% of the vote and finishing in third place. She is the first incumbent Chicago mayor to lose reelection in 40 years, as many voters blamed her for the city's surge in violence. Many questioned her gravitas and overall effectiveness as mayor, especially when she posted dancing videos on TikTok.
When asked why she thinks she lost the election, Lightfoot said it was from her being a black woman in the country. It's a stupid, illogical thing to say, but playing the race and gender card has become routine for Democrats after political losses.
