Look at Sposato’s voting record. He mostly votes with the mayor. ??
Sposato is usually a gutless coward who supports the domestic terrorist blm organization.
Bravo Alderman Sposato for calling out these animals. As the old saying goes, If it looks like dogs**t and smell like dogs**t …
Sophia King is behind the removal of the statues because she follows the dictates of the domestic terrorist blm Marxist organization who she supports. She must be exposed for what she is. Sposato better stand up to this machine hack cop hater.
Sposato is trying to hang on to “his” 38th ward, which is becoming increasingly Hispanic and will probably choose someone else next time. ?
If you want a Columbus ally, try someone with a base and staying power, like Ald. Napolitano (41). ?
Leave the blog your comments are ignorant.
Yes, you are ignorant. ?
Sposato approved the Columbus’ statues’ removals. ?
And for that he will never be re-elected.And you are a blm Antifa supporter. Leave America
I never supported BLM. Why don’t you leave America? ?
My extended family and I lived in Lawndale, Garfield Park and Austin (1955-2010), when those communities were White, Integrated and Black. ?
There’s no way I’d support BLM. Not every Black supports BLM. Try a new line, because your scratchy record is long worn out. ?
Grant Park is General Ulysses Grant statues, not Columbus or anyone else! ?
cx: Grant Park is for […] ?
Grant park is now a ghetto homeless drug dealing hang out thanks to Sophia King. She needs to go too.
Run for 4th Ward Alderperson.
I never destroyed Austin, nor did my family. ?
I never voted Democratic. ?
All you can do is call people ignorant, stupid morons and worship Columbus, who did NOT discover America. ☹️
Yes, some or most Blacks destroyed Austin, etc., but some tried to keep it decent too. ?
Mayor Daley had a role in destroying Austin too. ?
