A Chicago alderman slammed fellow Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot for harnessing left-wing alarm over the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade to 'deflect' from her city's crime crisis.
" on Tuesday that it is incredible to hear Lightfoot pledge to make Chicago an"oasis" for women seeking abortions, if the Supreme Court sides with the state of Mississippi in its current litigation.
"I don't think she even realizes that she's doing that badly, because I've never seen someone work so hard to be this disconnected from reality," Lopez said. "She's been gaslighting people for two years. And what we've seen as of late is that now she's turning to the national issue of a possible decision about abortion rights."
"It is the law in Illinois. It is legal in Chicago," he said."But she wants to deflect to what's going on at the federal level in the hopes that everyone will ignore her failures locally."Lopez told Fox News that hours before his appearance on the program, there had been two subsequent mass shootings between individuals in the"Back of the Yards" neighborhood.
