- Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot already lost face after she lost her reelection bid in the primary. But during a rowdy city council meeting, critics told her that she should leave town early, describing how devastating her administration was for the local community and small businesses.
- Journalist William Kelly showed up to the city council meeting, using the opportunity to vocally attack Lightfoot for closing down businesses and destroying lives during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns that she ordered: “You shut down our schools, you shut down the churches, you shut down the businesses.”
- Kelly said that Lightfood’s legacy has been sealed as a failed leader: “Shame on you. That is a legacy that you are going to have to carry.” Kelly told Lightfoot to “get the hell out of my city.”
