Lori Lightfoot Dances Blissfully in Chicago as Crime Soars 61%

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was filmed dancing in the streets as violent crime continued to soar in the city, causing many flagship stores to flee the ‘Magnificent Mile’ shopping district, which now sits one-third empty.

Lightfoot, who faces an uphill Democratic primary battle with several opponents, was seen dancing at the city’s Lunar New Year parade on Sunday.

On Twitter user responded to the video, saying: “Since [Lightfoot] ‘s term began, Chicago has suffered 2,278 homicides and over 9,000 shot. Since January 1, the city has endured 41 homicides and 194 shot. Yet here Lightfoot is blissfully dancing and asking voters to return her to office. Lightfoot is detached from reality.”
