Lightfoot has reportedly decided to discriminate against white reporters, according to the Washington Examiner. She will only offer one-on- one interviews to reporters of color on the two-year anniversary in office. Her justification is the Chicago media outlets are all too white and, so “In order to progress, we must change.” To many who heard this, it sounded like racism, which is all the “woke” nonsense about “equity.” Lightfoot should know better, many of her critics say.
