Lightfoot declares racism a ‘public health emergency,’ will divert $10 mil in Covid funds to it
June 18, 2021 | Tom Tillison
With murders running rampant in Chicago, the third-largest city in America, Mayor Lori Lightfoot continues to push her radical left social justice agenda, which includes steering money to preferred causes that may assure future votes.
On Friday, the Democrat declared that racism is a “public health emergency,” which will allow her to reallocate $10 million in COVID-19 relief funds to address racism in the Windy City — keep in mind the mayor and police chief are black, as is the city’s top prosecutor, Cook County state’s attorney Kimberley Foxx. Also, 20 of the 50 aldermen making up the City Council are black.
Lightfoot declared Thursday that systemic racism — not the out-of-control killing in primarily black neighborhoods — is a leading factor in a 9.2-year life expectancy gap between black and non-black residents.
