Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Facing Backlash Over Anti-White Racist Interview Policy
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is facing backlash after announcing an anti-white racist plan to only allow “black and brown” reporters to interview her about her two year anniversary in office.
At least one Latino reporter who was granted an interview has cancelled in protest.
Lightfoot’s plan was made public on Tuesday after Mary Ann Ahern of NBC News tweeted it out.

The controversial Democrat received so much backlash over her racism that she posted a thread the following day attempting to justify her actions.
