The incendiary rhetoric that is coming from the radical left in response to the recently-leaked draft majority opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on how “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled” just keeps getting worse, with the Biden White House now even encouraging left-wing agitators to break the law by continuing to “protest” in front the homes of conservative Supreme Court Justices in a clear effort to scare and intimidate them.
But perhaps none has been worse than what came from Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot late Monday night when America’s worst mayor, a Democrat, took to the Twitter machine to openly issue a “call to arms” to her “friends in the LGBTQ+ community”:
To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This must be an appeal to arms.
— Lori Lightfoot (@LoriLightfoot) May 10, 2022
In a tweet that came right after it, Lightfoot used the words “fight” twice, which we were reliably told during the Democrat-led impeachment hearings against then-President Donald Trump in January 2021 equated to (in so many words) “inciting an insurrection”:
We will not surrender our rights without a fight—a fight to victory!
— Lori Lightfoot (@LoriLightfoot) May 10, 2022
Lightfoot was responding to the panicked claims that are being made by others on the left, without evidence, that next on the SCOTUS Justices’ list after the Mississippi pro-life law case ruling will be LGBTQ rights.
Considering for the last 16 months that Democrats and their media allies have yelled “insurrection!” every chance they get during debates on what was said and was not said and what did and did not happen during the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, it was a rather interesting not to mention unambiguously dangerous choice of words on Lightfoot’s part, so much so that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was one of the many using the left’s (and her) own words against her.
“Insurrectionist,” Boebert tweeted in response while following up in another tweet by calling Lightfoot out on her city’s violent crime rate.
“While people are being slain in her streets on a daily basis, all she can worry about is endangering more lives with her reckless words. Shame on her. She should resign,” Boebert wrote.
Several hours later, Lightfoot returned to Twitter and while she didn’t address to the tweet calling on her to resign, she did try tangling with Boebert over her other assertion – that she was an insurrectionist.
“Excuse me. You are the one who insurrects. Not ours,” Lightfoot proclaimedBoebert
As I write this, Lightfoot’s reply is getting ratio’d like crazy, with hundreds of conservative Twitter users pointing out how the phrase “call to arms” leaves Nothing open to interpretation considering a “call to arms” is literally a call to take up weapons against your opposition.
Lightfoot’s deliberate word choice continues to be studied. Now, the Twitter Powers That Be are waiting to find out where they stand regarding inflammatory statements posted by prominent Democratic leader on their platform that easily could be seen as inciting to violence. Even though Trump’s tweets were very similar to Lightfoot’s, he was expelled from Twitter two days following the Capitol Riot.

Maybe Twitter will get around to addressing Lightfoot’s insurrectiony type post once they stop suspending conservative Twitter accounts for calling out their refusal to suspend left-wing accounts over exactly the types of tweets “leaders” like Lightfoot like to post.
Stay tuned…
