NBC 5 Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern wrote on twitter that she attempted to interview the mayor at the mid-way point of her term and “her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews - only to Black or Brown journalists."
WTTW Chicago Tonight anchor and correspondent Paris Schutz says “I was told the same thing."
Chicago politics reporter Heather Cherone also responded “I can confirm."
It’s been noted that Lightfoot appeared on MSNBC on Monday with white anchor Stephanie Ruhle where she told residents of her city that they should basically ignore CDC guidance and continue wearing their masks.
The new wokeness.
UPDATE: one reporter says he cancelled his interview with Lightfoot over the rule.
