Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot slammed at meeting: ‘Get the hell out of my city’
Lame duck Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot got a tongue-lashing at a raucous city council meeting Wednesday, with a longtime critic telling the controversial pol to “get the hell out of my city.”
Journalist William Kelly, a frequent adversary of Lightfoot, berated the outgoing mayor for her botched leadership — including her response to the COVID-19 pandemic — during a public comment portion of the meeting.
“You shut down our schools, you shut down the churches, you shut down the businesses,” Kelly railed, according to a video posted by Forbes.
“You did the one thing that I thought could never happen,” he said. “As someone who was born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I never thought in my life that I would ever see the city of Chicago brought down so low as you have managed to bring it down.

The Peter Principle personified - she was promoted to her level of incompetence.
