Tucker obtains 'demented' emails from Lori Lightfoot

meantime we want to start tonight with an actual insurrection real one an insurrection against the rule of law against civilization itself that's been going on for more than a year in the city of chicago since the death of george floyd last may chicago's mayor lori lightfoot has embraced every part of the equity and inclusion agenda lightfoot banned the police from chasing criminals even in the case of some very serious offenses her d.a refuses to prosecute many crimes the results nearly 200 more people have been murdered this year than last many more dead people hundreds yesterday there was yet another mass killing in chicago watch denise mathis brittanya rogers blakely and shermitria williams all killed in chicago's latest mass shooting the shooting happened at about 5 45 tuesday morning inside a home on the 6200 block of south morgan street in englewood of the eight people that were shot four died the other four victims are in the hospital two of them reported in critical condition the attack is the third mass shooting in chicago in a little more than a week did you hear that that was the third mass shooting in chicago in just over a week each one of them was a far greater human tragedy than anything that happened at the capitol on january 6th but as the bodies in chicago accumulate the people who run the city barely notice in fact they made it possible four days before christmas a 28 year old named marvin flanagan murdered a man during a home invasion flanigan should have been in jail at the time he was a five-time felon with convictions for armed robbery but officials let him out and then he promptly committed murder this is now common in the city of chicago marvin flanagan is just one of dozens of criminals who've been let out of chicago jail recently only to go on to shoot or murder someone else lori lightfoot did this but she accepts no responsibility for doing it instead she blames firearms and demands more money from the federal government cities individually cannot tackle this problem on its own we just cannot in chicago we've done absolutely everything possible and we need help from the federal government because this is a national problem it's a national problem the gun problem it's a national one is it really chicago has long had some of the strictest gun control in the nation the state of montana has virtually no gun control who's got a higher murder rate this entire conversation is nonsense lori lightfoot has no idea what she's talking about in fact as you can probably tell she's not very interested as long as her own security detail shows up on time lightfoot doesn't think a lot about crime what she thinks about is radical social change and this week she got an assist from the united states congress starting this saturday our country is getting a new independence day to supplant the old one which people like lori lightfoot complained was racist not a single member of either party in the senate opposed it republicans in fact co-sponsored the resolution happy that my bill to recognize juneteenth as a national holiday just passed the senate wrote john cornyn a supposedly conservative senator from texas laurie lightfoot is thrilled by this unlike john cornyn lori lightfoot understands the power of symbols they're immensely important that's why we have them for flag day on monday a holiday designed to honor the american flag speaking of symbols lori lightfoot is flying something instead called the pan-african flag you're seeing a shot of it on your screen right now it's now up in city hall in chicago that and the juneteenth flag watch we must also recognize that freedom has been illusory for far too many american residents including black people so we must embrace all american history and today on juneteenth we will be raising another flag the juneteenth flag freedom has been illusory really what's she saying well she's saying that your old independence day and the nation that it celebrated was all a lie so this is the kind of thing that lori lightfoot spends her time doing that and berating her staff thanks to an open records request from the chicago tribune we've got some of lori lightfoot's emails and it turns out she is every bit the person you imagined she was in january for example lori lightfoot told her staff quote i need office time every day exclamation point she wrote that very same line 16 times in a row i need office time every day i need office time every day i need office time every day and so on 13 more times demented and then for clarity quote not just once a week or some days every day exclamation point and then lightfoot wrote that exact same line ten more times in a row so she needs help but it's not as much help as her staff needs someone ought to stage a hostage extraction for their sake lightfoot ended her email with this if this doesn't change immediately i will just start unilaterally cancelling things every day have i made myself clear finally question mark exclamation point so as the bodies piled up hundreds more under her tenure as mayor you gotta wonder how much time did lori lightfoot take to write all of that was she shaking and spitting and screaming as she did of course she was here's laurie it's terrifying but apparently it didn't work it wasn't enough things did not improve in the mayor's office despite those missives in may of last year lightfoot announced a new policy for memos that arrive late late memos won't just be rejected they will be torn by rage-filled fingers into millions of tiny little pieces and cast into the wind like chaff given the right weather conditions late memo fragments might blow over lake michigan and fall onto grand rapids in an email to her staff lori lightfoot attached a picture of ripped up documents for emphasis lori lightfoot human shredding machine and yet still somehow this person remains the mayor of america's third largest city how long can that

Ffs. First things out of the way. Yes, Lori Lightfoot is fucking awful. And yes, blaming lack of federal gun control when her city has a unique violence epidemic that is not seen in places with similar population densities and far less gun control is disgusting. It's even more disgusting when you consider that it's committed with guns that are procured illegally AND not covered by any gun control legislation on the docket.

That said, why the fuck is Tucker on about Juneteenth? He inadvertently highlights a perfect point and acts like a counter to Lightfoot. Both Democrats and Republicans are not interested in solutions to problems like gun violence or good governance. Both instead choose to fight the culture war.
