Seriously, though\u2014our city doesn\u2019t have any time for homophobic, racist, and misogynistic rumors, today or any day. \u2026 It\u2019s shocking and disappointing to see some media members and verified Twitter handles are peddling this trash as truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next month, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) condemned the \u201cblatant anti-white racism\u201d Lightfoot exhibited by allowing only journalists of color to interview her. Gabbard tweeted, \u201cMayor Lightfoot\u2019s blatant anti-white racism is abhorrent. I call upon President Biden, Kamala Harris, and other leaders of our county\u2014of all races\u2014to join me in calling for Mayor Lightfoot\u2019s resignation. Our leaders must condemn all racism, including anti-white.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lightfoot had written in a letter, \u201cBy now, you may have heard the news that on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as Mayor of this great City, I will be exclusively providing one-on-one interviews with journalists of color. As a person of color, I have throughout my adult life done everything that I can to fight for diversity and inclusion in every institution that I have been a part of and being Mayor makes me uniquely situated to shine a spotlight on this most important issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot ratcheted up the hysteria among the Left triggered by the Supreme Court draft of an opinion that would overturn Roe v.
