Conduct unbecoming of a mayor

 


CHICAGO (CBS) — Mayor Lori Lightfoot is being accused of using obscene and derogatory language in a heated meeting with Park District lawyers over a statue of Christopher Columbus.

The meeting involved the removal of the Columbus statue from Arrigo park in 2020.

According to the Chicago Tribune, a lawsuit by former Chicago Park District deputy general counsel George Smyrniotis says former park district superintendent Mike Kelly and the district’s top lawyer wanted a quick settlement with Italian American groups upset about the removal.

But the suit claims Lightfoot was irate about a tentative deal to let the groups use that statue in a parade.

Lightfoot is accused of mocking the lawyers, asking “did you even go to law school? Do you even have a law license?”

The suit also says the mayor called the lawyers vulgar names before another profanity laced tirade saying “my d*** is bigger than yours and the Italians. I have the biggest d*** in Chicago.”

Smyrniotis said the mayor’s comments made others think he couldn’t do his job. He resigned last month.

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
