Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot SUED For BLOCKING Interviews From White Reporters!

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot outrageously spoke out that she would only accept interviews from journalists of color. However, as it turns out people are not too thrilled about her blatant racism and are moving to sue her for “playing favorites based on race”. That’s what a reporter has said in a new lawsuit.

Thomas Catenacci, a reporter for the conservative news outlet The Daily Caller, is suing the Mayor over her new interview policy saying she’ll only grant one-on-one interviews with people of color.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Being Sued For Blocking Interviews From White Reporters

According to legal documents that were obtained by TMZ, Catenacci claims he submitted an interview request on May 20th, however, he received no response back from Lightfoot. He claims that Lightfoot has granted at least 1 interview request from a Latino reporter.

Lightfoot said she’s tired of looking at media in Chicago that is pretty lily-white, so she’s taking matters into her own hands. This is why Catenacci is suing Lightfoot and her policy for being blatantly racist, discriminatory, and a violation of his rights. He also thinks it’s a violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of the press.

A rep for Mayor Lightfoot told TMZ, “The City has not had the opportunity to review the complaint and has not yet been served.”

No matter which side of the aisle you reside on, it’s pretty obvious that her comments were racist. She was judging people and allowing only some people to participate in something based solely on the amount of melanin in their skin.

I also think it’s interesting that they label Catenacci as a “super conservative”. Do we label Lightfoot as a “super liberal” then? All these labels for race and political affiliation are all ridiculous, and you can comment and tell if you disagree. Why are we purposefully trying to segregate ourselves?

What do you think? Should Lori Lightfoot be sued for her actions and do you think Catenacci will win? Let us know in the comments below.
