Former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot was recently voted out of office, and thank God for that! Under her tenure, Chicago went from a pretty miserable city in terms of weather to a crime-ridden shithole of death. She basically drove businesses out of the region, taking most of their capital with them.
Comedian Stavros Halikas recently shared a clip from his upcoming special in early April, in which he gave Lightfoot the ultimate roast. Halikas said, “I’m sad your hilarious little mayor has got to go away. That sucks.”
Halikas said that Lightfoot was ‘visually one of the funniest people of all time’. It was at that moment I nearly spat out my coffee.
He then went on to say, “You gotta be technically a savant to reach this higher-level, surely you can’t just be a fuckin horrendous mayor and look that funny as well.”
He continued, “If you had to pick a doctor, you want someone who is … honestly you would pick someone that has gone through adversity. You would pick a little bug-eyed black lesbian. You would pick someone who society treats bad, because you think, if she can get through med school, she must be the best doctor of all time. And that’s what I would think in terms of politics as well.”
Halikas then concluded with, “Shout out to Lori Lightfoot. You can be ugly and fuckin bad at your job and succeed.” And boy, did she ever succeed. Not in a good way, though. Under her reign, Chicago saw an increase in crime, businesses leaving the region and capital being taken with them.
So, here’s to Stavros Halikas for giving us a hilarious roast of Lightfoot and here’s to Lightfoot for getting voted out of office. Thanks for nothing, Lightfoot! Your reign of terror is over.
