Days after Lightfoot calls smash-and-grab victim ‘idiot,’ Chicago cites him for multiple violations: Report
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot allegedly called the owner of a high-end exotic car dealership an “idiot” during a heated meeting after the store was targeted in an armed smash-and-grab robbery, according to a report.
Lightfoot allegedly “got into a fight and walked out” of Gold Coast Exotic Motor Cars during a meeting with store owner Joe Perillo, according to sources who spoke to CWB Chicago.
One of the sources told the outlet the mayor called Perillo an “idiot” as she left the showroom, though Perillo told Fox News he did not hear her call him that.
“I’m not aware that she called me an idiot… at least she did not say that to me,” Perillo said about the conversation. “In her heart, I believe she is trying her best. That said, we are both passionate individuals and have different views of how to deal with theft. I can report that there was nothing I said that in any way was foolish! I simply wanted to know what her future plans were going forward!”
Days after Lightfoot met with Perillo, an inspector with the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection also visited the store and ticketed them with six violations, CWB Chicago reported. – READ MORE
