Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s re-election was ridiculed by critics Thursday as her campaign touted her record on crime and sought the help of student volunteers in exchange for school credit.<\/p>\n

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld put Lightfoot on blast, arguing on “The Five” that “she’s not fighting for crime; she’s fighting for power.”<\/p>\n

Lightfoot announced she would seek re-election as the Windy City’s mayor in June 2022. Crime has spiked<\/a> roughly 40% since she took office in 2019 and homicides rose to their highest<\/a> numbers in 25 years in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gutfeld said other people’s suffering only comes across Lightfoot’s radar “when it’s a political threat.”<\/p>\n

“It does show the difference between Democrats and Republicans,” he argued. “Republicans tend to confront their problem children, be it [George] Santos<\/a> or somebody else. The Dems just elect them, you know, to be a historical first.”<\/p>\n

He continued arguing Lightfoot is a historical first but not in the way she wants to be remembered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“She’s the first mayor to be under the thumb of cartels. She’s the worst mayor in America<\/a>, the worst mayor Chicago has ever had,” Gutfeld said. “She looks like she hasn’t slept since 1983. She dresses like she pantsed the Salvation Army bell ringer.”<\/p>\n

“Why don’t the Democrats call her out on her record? Why don’t they say anything? It’s because they’re cowards, and two, she’s protected by her diversity shield. Right?. A black lesbian left-winger.” Gutfeld said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“So they’re willing to let the city just be run into the ground<\/a>. A 40% increase in murder. No White guy could get away with that.”<\/p>\n

Co-host Geraldo Rivera agreed crime has become the main political issue for mayoral candidates but believes Lightfoot will get re-elected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The overwhelmingly black and poor half of the city is where most of the gang violence is happening<\/a>. Chicago is on track now to have over seven- or had – over 700 murders and led the nation by far in murders laBt year. So she runs on a very tenuous record,” Rivera said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The problem from her point of view politically is that now that fear of crime, that absolute terror has people on the north side of town<\/a>, the more affluent side of town, getting private police forces, security guards. So it’s there. The whole tempo of life in the Windy City has been undermined.”<\/p>\n

Lightfoot recently came under fire after her campaign reportedly sent emails to the Chicago Public Schools<\/a> system asking teachers to encourage students to volunteer for her campaign in exchange for school credit. The solicitation was rescinded, and Lightfoot said during a Thursday press conference the emails were “clearly a mistake” and placed blame on a staffer.<\/p>\n

Rivera said it was a “brilliant” idea but had an “inherent dishonesty” to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You could paint it as a \u2018what a great program.\u2019 \u2018Get the kids involved in politics, municipal government and so forth.\u2019 But I think Chicago is in a terrible place,” he lamented, “I think that Greg is right. I think she will be re-elected. And I think there’s nothing that you can do about it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
