Lori Lightfoot's decision to grant interviews exclusively to journalists of color is a form of performative wokeness designed to shield her from tough questions.

“and now you're doing this gesture of oh i'm only letting journalists of color interview me it seems like performative openness”

Politicians like Lori Lightfoot use identity politics and performative gestures to avoid answering substantive questions about policy failures.

“they interviewed journalists of multiple races and they said uh other journalists are gonna let him read his notes that he don't get made fun of him only people in color could have notes”
