    Is this something the Mayor actually said or something right wing non-news sources claim she said? Is not the National Review, an Alt-Right website, the actual source of this supposed quote? Has anyone else besides tabloid, troll, and entertainment sites quoted what the Mayor said beyond ’I’m a Black Woman in America’?

    If there are so many racists and sexists I wonder how she got elected in the first place? Of course Democrats will ALWAYS blame other people before they accept any responsibility. They are mentally and morally incapable of realizing their mistakes and correcting them.

    Too bad Chicago had to wait 4 years to rid itself of the worst mayor ever.

    She suffered from the Hillary syndrome and it caught up to her.

    The people of Chicago, black, white, whatever, D or R, rejected Lightfoot. There was no racism there. Using the race card doesn’t work anymore, and has become the last vestige of the incompetent.

    When daily living gets bad enough, even Democrats will finally wise up and reject incompetent politicians like Lightfoot. Good for voters of Chicago.

    Lightfoot lost. She’s not protesting her defeat, not making fantastic demands based on whacky theories. She accepts. Republicans, take note.

    What’s the big deal? Many mayors, Democrats and Republicans, in towns and cities of all sizes, served only one term and then lost bids for re-election. I suspect that Ms. Lightfoot is being singled out by right-wing cartoonists for being the first Black female mayor of a major city.

    No, not facts at all that she said anything about the voters being racist or sexist. She just lost and accepted it stating she is a black woman in America. No suing for a stolen election or anything, Some people lose somewhat gracefully, some not so much.

    More dishonest exaggeration from Benson?

    [ Has Benson commented on a real ‘election-denier’ like K. Lake? ]

    Gotta love this guy: common sense is illegal in DC

    Republican U.S. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana brought the “unadorned, unvarnished truth” about America to CPAC on Thursday afternoon, emphasizing that we cannot order society, survive, or thrive as human beings without truth.

    In the nation’s capital, Kennedy said “common sense is illegal,” before pondering “how some people in Washington, D.C., actually made it through the birth canal.”

    According to Kennedy, Americans are “governed by deeply weird, nauseously woke people who hate George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head; who hyperventilate on their yoga mats if you use the wrong pronoun; who think kids should be able to change their gender at recess; who carry around Ziploc bags of kale to give them energy; who think they are better than us.”

    “By the way, to me, kale tastes like I’d rather be fat,” Kennedy added.

    Emphasizing the accomplishments of Republicans during the Trump years, Kennedy reminded that GOP leaders “cut taxes, increased wages, delivered 3.5 percent unemployment, created eight million new jobs, deregulated the economy” and “confirmed 234 conservative federal judges including three new members of the United States Supreme Court.”

    Senator Kennedy than ticked off a list of other truths that have apparently become foreign to the Biden administration and Democrats:

    “If you worked hard and earned it, you should get to keep most of it.”

    “All life is precious — all life — and shame on those who celebrate actually celebrate abortion.”

    “The Republican Party, I’m very proud of this, is the party of parents. because we understand that if you don’t love your children, your children won’t stop loving you your children will stop loving themselves.”

    “We should have an election day, not an election month.”

    “Illegal immigration is illegal, duh. Unless you peaked in high school, you know that. Why doesn’t President Biden?”

    “If gun control laws worked, Chicago would be Mayberry. Instead it is the world’s largest outdoor shooting range.”

    “America was founded on the principle of free will and responsibility and I believe in that. Many in Washington do not.”

    “Race should not be used to hurt a person or to help a person, you know why? Because the truth is also that souls have no color. To a bear, we all taste like chicken.”

    “The Chinese Communist Party is a bunch of gangsters…I would not turn my back on President Xi if he were two days dead.”

    “We must be armed if we want peace, because appeasing a tyrant is like trying to hand-feed a shark.”

    Kennedy also reminded the CPAC audience that “Arlington National Cemetery contains 400,000 reasons why you should stand your @ss up for the national anthem,” adding “those who disagree…can stick that up their fact-checker.”

    Ending on an optimistic call-to-action, Kennedy said America’s “future can be better than our present or our past.”

    “At some point, we have to stop regretting yesterday and start creating tomorrow,” Kennedy instructed. “I’m not going to bubble-wrap it: no one is coming to save us but ourselves. Most countries die from suicide, not murder,” he reminded. “If we want to keep America, we have to fight for her.”

    “Obviously, we didn’t win the election. But I stand here with my head held high and my heart full of thanks.” – Lori Lightfoot

    Sorry, Lisa, there’s no equivalence. Democrats aren’t the ones who would rather tear the country apart than just admit they lost an election.

    As opposed to the republicans who not only lie but then tell more lies to defend their other lies? Both parties need to remove their heads from their posterior, and start earning the paychecks they are embezzling from the U.S. taxpayers for work not done! She was as successful as tRump and the voters showed their feelings, but the tax payers were not paying her golf courses millions.
