POLICE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “We don’t need federal troops. We don’t need unnamed, secret, federal agents roaming around the streets of Chicago, taking off our residents without cause, and violating their basic constitutional rights…
The President has been on a campaign now for some time against Democratic mayors across the country, whether it’s me, whether it’s Keisha Lance Bottoms in Atlanta, whether it’s Muriel Bowser in Washington DC, whether it’s Jenny Durkan in Seattle. Do you see a common theme here? The President is trying to divert attention from his failed leadership on COVID-19. He has failed. He has failed. He has failed.”
-Lori Lightfoot, Mayor of Chicago, “Chicago mayor to Trump: It’s ‘not happening,’” news.yahoo.com, July 22, 2020
