New in PJ Media:
Was Jussie Smollett telling the truth after all? Back in Jan. 2019, when he lied about being attacked in Chicago by two of the Left’s much-discussed but seldom-seen “right-wing extremists,” he claimed that they were shouting “This is MAGA Country.” It seemed ludicrous back then that anyone would have said that about deep-blue Chicago, which hasn’t had a Republican mayor since gas cost seventeen cents a gallon and “Minnie the Moocher” was the number one song on the hit parade, but maybe Jussie’s fables had a grain of truth to them: asked after her loss if she blamed racism and sexism for going down in flames at the ballot box, Lightfoot replied: “I’m a black woman in America. Of course.” And Maggie Cullerton Hooper, former deputy finance director of the Illinois Senate Democratic Victory Fund, likened Chicagoans to Trump for having the temerity to show Lightfoot the door. MAGA Country after all!
The Political Insider tried to introduce a bit of sanity into the proceedings on Wednesday by pointing out that Lightfoot was “actually a ‘black woman in America’ when she became the first openly lesbian black woman to serve as mayor of a major city in the United States in 2019. So the same people who were open-minded enough to usher her in as Chicago mayor four years ago are suddenly racist again.” Maggie Cullerton Hooper would certainly agree that racist is exactly what they are.
Cullerton Hooper, who, besides working with the Illinois Senate Democratic Victory Fund has also raised cash for Planned Parenthood of Illinois, wrote on Facebook Tuesday evening: “Please know that if you cast a vote for Paul Vallas, you no longer get to cling to your bystander justification. You are now just as racist and hateful and bigoted as Donald Trump. Make no mistake, that is exactly who you voted for and it would’ve taken so little effort for you to educate yourself.” Cullerton Hooper vowed to harass these newly minted Trumpian racists publicly: “I SEE YOU. And now, I know exactly who you are. And I will make sure to remind you of that fact. Loudly. In public. Every time.” Charming.
We’re not exactly dealing here with people who are working within the realm of strict evidence-based rationality, but nonetheless, here goes: Paul Vallas, who won 35% of the vote Tuesday and thus became the front-runner to become mayor of Chicago after the April 4 runoff, is no MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporter. He ran on a platform of cracking down on crime, which must have been music to the ears of many weary residents of the Windy City, but otherwise he is a doctrinaire Leftist.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The guy who may win, says he will improve the “lives of all Chicagoans,”….except for the unborn.
lightfoot and the other idiot, refuse to recognize their own failure. Bake a cake and no one wants it….the intelligent, thinking person asks herself, “what did I do wrong?”
These racist idiots don’t ask any questions of themselves; they just can’t admit they did things the people didn’t like.
Hopefully, this means we won’t have to keep seeing lightfoot’s pouty face every week, excusing herself for the crimes she allowed and blamed on White people who didn’t like her.

Chicago won’t ever vote (R). New York or LA may have at times – Giuliani and Riordan – but cities like Chicago, San Francisco, never!
So no, Smollett is still wrong
Namer says
If Chicago is MAGA Country its only because Lightfoot and Jesse woke the people up to what the democrats stand for.

It’s not. Lightfoot came third out of three candidates in the Dem primary. Chicago still won’t have a GOP mayor:: heck, it doesn’t even have a single GOP alderman

Just voted in another dumbocrap, but no, your all racists bigots because Beetlejuice got the flick. How dare you not believe what she is saying! hahahahahah
࿗Infidel࿘ says
This was a Dem primary, where she came third out of three candidates. The top 2 advance to the next round, and the runoff b/w them is primarily based on identity politics i.e. Hispanic vs Black, not who’ll make Chicago a less of a 💩hole
