And right before she extolled the virtues of her having reduced crime. She must think her voting base are idiots. This is the same nut job who locked everyone else down while she went and got her hair done for television. She looks like she is straight from a set of The Walking Dead. Literally. Good riddance.

Racist and sexist to criticize her appearance

How about we criticize her for all the people of Chicago who were shot and died or were seriously wounded during her insane rule as Mayor of Chicago.

I don't believe looking dead has anything to do with race or gender. Does it?

A number of people here, on the other hand, have had a field day criticizing President Trump's weight and looks. So, quit with the double standard.

She only got 17% of the votes. Violent crime is up 60% under her reign. Since you mentioned racism and sexism, these are the reasons that she claims she lost. But that doesn’t jibe with the facts. She won by a landslide 75% in 2019. You can’t fool all of the people all of the time.

I dont 'hear you criticizing many white mens' appearances, thats why its racist and sexist, its targeted at her gender because you value women for their appearance more than anything, and at her as a black woman because you see blacks as "other"

Negative. I have also criticized Soros. I believe I said he looks like death warmed over. Or something like that. He looks like an actual corpse. Try again. But discussing someone’s looks is a low blow. Just because Dems do it doesn’t mean I should. I’ll grant you that. But that’s neither racist nor sexist, which are defined as viewing someone somehow inferior due to skin color or gender. Other than those two, I think I’ve only ever criticized Hillary’s hideous pant suits. Fashion critics are a thing.

And let me get this right. So, a Black person or a female cannot be criticized because that is racist and sexist? And Black conservatives are white supremacists? That Dem ploy no longer works. When you throw words like racist at people you disagree with, those words lose a measure of meaning.

I say good riddance for Chicago.

She will be fine. I am pretty sure one of mainstream media outlets will offer her a plum job to give her opinions weekly if not daily. She checks a lot of their boxes.

Agreed. The person who will likely win said that he is going to make Chicago the safest city in the country. That is what Chicago needs. You can’t fix a problem that you don’t acknowledge is one.

Blue you're a white man so maybe sit this one out. If you don't have a uterus, you don't have an opinion.

I’m sure she will land back on her feet. She should move to Georgia. We always have roles available in upcoming movies and television shows. I hear Beetlejuice is being recast in a remake of the beloved film.
