Chicago held its mayoral primary election yesterday. No only did incumbent Lori Lightfoot not get a majority of the vote, she wasn’t the leading vote getter in a field of eight. She didn’t even finish second to make it to the general election. When you piss on and piss off so many voters that not even the Deceased Americans will support you, you deserve the dubious distinction of being the first Chicago mayor to be thrown out office in 40 years.
Mayor Beetlejuice’s reaction was to play the race card. When crime rates are as high as they are, that card had to be an ace or a king to get re-elected. With her policies of defunding the police and easing bail requirements, that card turned into a deuce.
