Mayor Lori Lightfoot Is Getting Dragged For Only Using Journalists Of Color  [VIDEO]

As ⁦Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot reaches her two year midway point as mayor and is getting dragged in the media because her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews to only Black or Brown journalists.  It’s being alleged the reasoning behind the decision is to try to spotlight on the lack of diversity in the City Hall press corps.

“Today marks the second anniversary of Lori Lightfoot being mayor. That’s why this is coming to a head today,…So she had a bunch of interview requests, so she did pick and choose, and some of the outlets that she is talking to today are community outlets that don’t have the resources to staff City Hall every day like the big legacy outlets do. And what’s wrong with that?”

A latino reporter Gregory Pratt took to his Twitter to say that although his interview request was granted, asked the mayor’s office to lift its condition on others and when they said no, we respectfully canceled. Politicians don’t get to choose who covers them.  Political commentator Tomi Lahren asked the question what happened to content of character?
