Mayor Lori Lightfoot rips Ivanka Trump’s comments about Chicago’s deadly weekend
It wasn’t a playground, it was a park

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



Before her inauguration as Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot visited the White House to meet with Ivanka Trump and begin building a relationship that she hoped could lead to help in solving some of the city’s deepest problems.



But this week, Lightfoot engaged in a public battle of words with the president’s powerful daughter, who in a series of tweets on Tuesday drew attention to the city’s gun violence and provoked an angry response from Chicago’s mayor.





Early Tuesday, Ivanka Trump drew renewed national attention to Chicago’s problems with gun violence by writing, “As we grieve over the evil mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, let us not overlook that Chicago experienced its deadliest weekend of the year.”





“With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy City — and little national outrage or media coverage — we mustn’t become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day,” she tweeted.

What a ridiculous thing to get pissy about. Or maybe the mayor doesn't want to remember the people who have been shot in her own city. Maybe she thinks it would be more helpful to her city show how pissed off she is at Ivanka Trump.

More likely, some part of her feels responsible and she wants to scapegoat someone else.

Yeah, except that Mayor Lightfoot actually wants us to consider doing a number of very progressive things to maybe address the gun violence plaguing us all and not just in her city Chicago, but everywhere in America. Meanwhile poor little olde put upon Ivanka Trump is just flapping her big fat ridiculous artificially plumped up Real Housewives of New York lips vainly advocating that we maintain the goddamn status quo regarding guns which got us here already. So, there is that...

Where in these tweets was Ivanka advocating for anything beyond expressing sympathy for victims?

Well, NO WHERE, of course.

That isn't the point here though.

The point is that someone named Trump said something to faux-offend their delicate sensibilities.

"It wasn’t a playground, it was a park"

Gosh Miss Lightfoot, your more worried about the "Where" part, instead of what was actually the important part of Ivanka's tweet ?

"With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy City — and little national outrage or media coverage we mustn’t become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day,” she tweeted."

Your city is in violent chaos you dimwit Newbie Mayor !

Sheeeeesh .

All the resources the city and the state have and they can't solve any problems?

wtf are they doing?

Cool, another article pointing out how much gun violence our country has. And that the president's daughter is a moron.

It wasn’t a playground, it was a park

A five year old little child was shot, but the Mayor thinks stating it was park instead of a playground is what is important.

The left cares more for proper language than children getting shot and killed.

People of Chicago where hoping that this Mayor would be different, but looks like she is fitting into the same mold as past Mayors.
