Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was blasted over a video of her dancing on the streets, amid continued violent crime and the loss of more flagship stores on the city's 'Magnificent Mile' shopping district that now sits one third empty.
Lightfoot, who is just four weeks shy of what polls have shown are an uphill Democratic primary battle with several opponents, was seen dancing at the city's Lunar New Year parade Sunday along to a drumline.
It caused one Twitter user to say: 'Since [Lightfoot]'s term began, Chicago has suffered 2,278 homicides and over 9,000 shot. Since January 1, the city has endured 41 homicides and 194 shot.

And they keep voting her into office. No sympathy here.

"Since January 1, the city has endured 41 homicides and 194 shot. " Not newsworthy or remarkable because they did not occur at the one time, and the city already operates under very tight anti Gun Laws.

Not that Republicans are perfect, but these democrat mayors are clueless. I would like to chalk it up to their horrific policies and incompetence but there is something very wrong with their souls. All I can think of is demon possession or oppression. The depraved indifference to human life they show goes way past political ideology and is steeped in a much darker and more sinister motivation that has nothing to do with goodness or light. Ignore evil and it will increase exponentially. Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Lori is dancing.

Her policies or lack of are what really matter. One might argue that keeping spirits up during hard times could be a positive thing. But this looks more like a victory dance celebrating the destruction of what was one of the greatest attractions in the country, even bigger than that ball of twine and house on the rock.

30%? Wow. I walked down the Magnificent Mile with my son 20 years ago. It was... magnificent.
Horrible.

She's dancing because she knows her opposition in the upcoming election will split the anti-lightfoot vote and she'll be reelected.

Yep, they certainly can dance. Just like Eric Adams, Lightweight was elected for skills other than running a city. I'm not sure why.

Anybody expect anything different from this clown. Look at the whole democratic party, look at the whole Biden administration, nothing but a bunch of freaks that let you realize the circus never left town. Not one democrat with any morals, values or soul. This is what happens on the democratic plantation. Got it.

No doubt Lightfoot could win a dance contest in the Republic of the Congo, but that’s not a skill that the City of Chicago needs in a Mayor these days!

I don't care about Mayor Lightfoot, but to blame the Chicago crime on her is wrong. The Chicago crime spree has been going on for a very long time, regardless of who the major has been.

Let's get some more black mayors and police chiefs. They work so well.

Funny, those percussionists behind the dancing mayoress don't look very Asian to me. Isn't lunar new year an Asian thing?
