Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is attempting to strike a more civil tone just days after cursing out Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Speaking at an event on Tuesday, Lightfoot decried such attacks, suggesting it's a sign of people "losing respect for the institutions of our democracy."
"But toxicity in our public discourse is a thing that I think we should all be concerned about, right?" Lightfoot added.
This is quite the turnaround from the profane attack she leveled towards African American Justice Thomas at a Pride event in Chicago just days ago.
Lightfoot said, "Thank you. F--- Clarence Thomas. He thinks that we are going to stand idly by while they take our rights – our right to marry – our right to have children – our right to live."
