Lightfoot: I lost due to racism and sexism

Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed racism and her gender for her landslide defeat in her re-election bid, as Chicagoans weary of the rising crime on her watch celebrated her fall from “political rock star to rock bottom.”

“I’m a black woman in America. Of course,” she replied when asked by a reporter if she had been treated unfairly.

[Er … if that’s the case, how did Lightfoot get elected in the first place? What an idiotic reaction. — Ed]
