Chicago Mayor Caught On Mic Calling Police Union Official a ‘Clown’

Lori Lightfoot

The far-left mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot was caught on an open mic calling a Chicago Fraternal Order of Police official,  Patrick Murray, a clown.


Murray the union’s second vice president was at a city council meeting to defend four coppers who were fired by the Police Board for covering up for Jason Van Dyke, the officer convicted of second-degree murder for shooting Laquan McDonald.

At one point, Lightfoot turned to corporation counsel Mark Flessner and said, “Back again. This is this FOP clown,” which was picked up on the meeting’s livestream.

Lightfoot hasn't really apologized, after the meeting all she said was “It was not appropriate for me to say that out loud.”

As I pointed out this feud between coppers and urban primitives is not our battle (SEE: A Libertarian Take on the Dissing and the Dousing of NYPD Coppers) but Lightfoot knows full well her constituency comes from the land of the UPs.

For the rest of us, it is just central planning entertainment.
