Chicago Mayor Lightfoot responds to backlash

Mayor Lightfoot responds to backlash after her campaign called on CPS student volunteers to help her re-election efforts

[donaldsmith]

Now that it's coming down to the wire the mayor is for the first time trying to smile and is not objecting to White reporters asking questions.

[cheryldee]

From seeing how she treats reporters and other conflict she has had....I 100 percent don't believe that any member of her staff would be brave enough to do something without her permission.

[bocephus]

She's only talking about it because she got caught. One mistake after another with this walking joke. She's not firing the person because she endorsed it. Believe it!

[alexanderjones]

Right off the bat, you could tell this room doesn’t really like her. It was like when Jeb Bush said yeah, you could clap go ahead. And just by looking in her eyes. I see fear and stress.

I don’t even live in Chicago and I wanna vote her out. All skin folk ain’t Kin folk.

Finally "Morning Breath" has a face....

She must go!!! Now will be a good time to send a message that will resonate across America that elected officials should focus on serving the needs of the voters.

The teachers and social workers should make a minimum of $70k a year in Chicago alongside the police and not just CPS and DCFS…the DCFS agencies and schools in the surrounding Chicagoland suburbs. Pay us what we deserve.

She's so out of touch with what the city needs desperately

[mcurrent]

This person has NO business is politics, she is the worst mayor ever in history. She needs to go.

look into the face of evil. A godless ....'it'

Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! And she still didn't disappear! It must be her highly ethical🤮 getto standards!

Kids should be in school, and not working with a political party in 2023. Right?

[mortmeek]

I just read an article that says and I quote This person alive or dead is not liked or welcome in Wakanda any longer,

[pgppe]

I think everyone knows she is not been truthful concerning this a mistake by some young intern. Vote people!!!

Mayor Lightfoot has a hearing problem or is she just saying the acoustic systems isn't adequate?

CPS as most school districts give employees, a contract, which also may include political, religious, or legal guidelines.
This seems like a young teacher, thought she was doing an act of support.

[DunkInHerDonut]

I am glad this sista made it and is serving as a mayor for Chicago. As she is getting older and displayed in her incompetence, I think she needs to step down and retire gracefully. It’s not about her anymore because it’s getting worst and everyone is done with her bs. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[lillianwilliams]

Was this an interrogation or just to get an explanation for the emails.

The reporters are trying to turn this into a planned endeavor to use public media for a campaign.

Professors and Public figures often have their students volunteer to work in campaigns and they actually recruit party affiliates.

The only thing, that was done wrong, the person just didn't understand the boundaries of recruiting volunteers.

I wonder if this had been any other Mayor, would it have caused this much controversy.

Yes, credit is given to students all across America to attend public events, especially in the. POLITICAL AND SOCIAL STUDIES.

CREDIT IS GIVEN TO SIT IN COURT CASES.

CREDIT IS GIVEN TO
WATCH SPECIFIC MOVIES.

CREDIT. IS GIVEN FOR LECTURES.

Students are encouraged to attend book signing events and often to purchase a book, that may be used for class discussion.

THERE ARE FLYERS POSTED ON CAMPUSES, INFORMING STUDENTS OF EVENTS.

APPARENTLY, THIS EMPLOYEE WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET. THE INFORMATION TO STUDENTS.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT WASN'T DONE ON A BULLENTIN BOARD.
