CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 2, 2023
THE DEFEAT IN TUESDAY’S ELECTION OF LORI LIGHTFOOT AS CHICAGO’S MAYOR SHOULD SEND SEVERAL MESSAGES.
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF CRIME, WOKE POLITICIANS AND DISTRICT ATTORNEYS WHO REFUSE TO FIGHT IT. BUT MAYBE NOT ALL PEOPLE BECAUSE OTHER POLITICIANS AND DA’S WHO HAVE SIMILAR RECORDs REMAIN IN OFFICE.
YOU CAN BE BLACK, FEMALE AND LESBIAN AS LIGHTFOOT IS, BUT IF YOU’RE INCOMPETENT, IT DOESN’T MATTER.
WHOEVER WINS IN THE TWO-MAN CHICAGO RUNOFF APRIL 4TH HAD BETTER GET THE MESSAGE. BOTH ARE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, BUT IF THE WINNER DOESN’T FIGHT CRIME, HE MAY BE OUSTED TOO.
THE PROBLEM LIES WITH VOTERS. THEY PUT THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR POLICIES IN POWER. IF IT TURNS OUT THEY DON’T LIKE THE RESULTS, VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO PROMISE DIFFERENT RESULTS. TOO BAD THOSE MESSAGES AREN’T GETTING TO WASHINGTON, D.C. Although crime and homicides are up by nearly a fourth so far this year, the City Council wants to reduce sentences for violent crimes. HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE BLOCKING IT. WE’LL SEE WHAT SENATE DEMOCRATS DO. I’M CAL THOMAS.
