Chicago Mayor Responds to Trump’s Tweet

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) accused President Trump of trying to “foment violence” and offered a vulgar response — in code — after he threatened Minneapolis rioters protesting the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, the Chicago Sun Times reports.

Said Lightfoot: “We see the game he’s playing because it’s so transparent and he’s not very good at it. He wants to show failures on the part of Democratic local leaders to throw red meat to his base. His goal is to polarize, to destabilize local government and inflame racist urges. And we can absolutely not let him prevail.”

She added: “I will code what I really want to say to Donald Trump. It’s two words: It begins with F and ends with YOU.”
