Tunney voted NO against Lightfoot’s recent 2021 Chicago budget. Looks like the Mayor is unleashing the hounds on all of her opponents.
“It won’t happen again”. And there is a tooth fairy!
Tunney will be completely and totally absolved, will receive no fines, no sanctions and no investigation by phony Ferguson or Loris sham administration. Tunney is a member of the chosen lgbtq community and thus is not subject to the same rules as straight people. He is like the domestic terrorist blm Marxist organization which is allowed to do anything with Lori.
Is won and yous lost. Tunny, Lori and Sophia running things baybee!
You are a gutless coward. Come forward and tell your real name. Lori Sophia and Tunney are zero.
Is like Lori, Sophie and Tommy baybee. Is brave.
Rules for thee, but not for me!
