Lori Lightfoot defends decision to discriminate against white reporters, says she would 'absolutely do it again'

Chicago's mayor has laughed off her last attempt to "diversify" the City Hall press pool as a fleeting feat. But standing again in the national spotlight, the Democrat city leader is willing to revert back to her activist cards.

The New York Times early this morning posted a half-hour long conversation between writer Kara Swisher and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. While the general theme pertained to the scrutiny big city mayors are facing currently, the identity politics line of thought is what came to pass in this exchange with Lightfoot.

The headlines as expressed by Fox News are that Lori Lightfoot would discriminate which reporters she'd talk to on the basis of their skin color.
Lightfoot called it a "conversation" that needed to happen "a long time ago" according to The New York Times interview.
