William Kelly, a Chicago reporter who was silenced and had his press credentials revoked by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, took the opportunity to absolutely blast the failed Windy City Mayor during a city council meeting on Wednesday.
“You shut down our schools, you shut down the churches, you shut down the businesses. You did the one thing I thought could never happen: As somebody who was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, I never thought in my life that I would ever see the city of Chicago brought down so low,” reporter William Kelly slammed Lightfoot.
“I hope that, after today’s city council meeting, you will pack your suitcase and get the hell out of my city.”
From Fox News:
Kelly spoke out about the tussle Thursday on “Fox & Friends,” telling host Steve Doocy that the tense moment was his chance to speak out on behalf of the citizens of Chicago.
“Even if she didn’t pull my press credentials, I still would not have had the opportunity to ask her a question or speak for the people of Chicago after the city council meeting because Mayor Lightfoot canceled her post-city council meeting press conference,” he said.
“I applied for the public comments section right before the meeting. It’s a lottery. It’s limited to five people to speak for three minutes, and the luck of the Irish – St. Patrick’s Day – I was one of the five.”
