Lori Lightfoot “unapologetically” defends speaking only to reporters of color. She said:

“I would absolutely do it again”

Nothing to see here but another racist who claims not be a racist, and is awarded a free pass because of her party affiliation.

FNC: “Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat, continued to defend her controversial decision to only speak with non-White reporters earlier this year, calling the number of the journalists of color covering her ‘unacceptable’ and declaring she’d do it again because of the conversation it spurred.

Lightfoot made waves earlier this year when she announced she would only grant one-on-one interviews to Black and Brown reporters upon the two-year anniversary of her taking office, scolding the Chicago media for its ‘overwhelming Whiteness.’ ”

“Here is the bottom line for me, to state the obvious, I’m a Black woman mayor. I’m the mayor of the third-largest city in the country, obviously I have a platform, and it’s important to me to advocate on things that I believe are important,” Lightfoot said. “Going back to why I ran, to disrupt the status quo. The media is critically important to our democracy … the media is in a time of incredible upheaval and disruption but our City hall press corps looks like it’s 1950 or 1970.

“People that make the hiring decisions have to be focused on diversity,” she said. “In Chicago, we have a huge amount of diverse media talent. We’ve got schools that are of journalism that are best in class across the country, and I would say, really, across the world. So the absence of journalists of color, covering the mayor of the third-largest city in a country is absolutely unacceptable. And so I decided to say something about it.

“It’s not about me choosing who covers me, right? I gave exclusive interviews. And we do get to choose who we talk to in exclusives. I gave exclusive interviews with journalists of color, right? One 24-hour period and it was like people’s heads exploded. I had journalists saying, ‘Does the mayor think I’m racist?’ No, it’s not about individuals,” Lightfoot said. “It’s about systemic racism.

“I would absolutely do it again. I’m unapologetic about it because it spurred a very important conversation, a conversation that needed to happen, that should have happened a long time ago.” That is the voice of unapologetic racism, of a bigotry just as vile as the Klan. It should have no place in America. Yet it does, in the Democrat Party.
