Me to Mayor Lightfoot: How can you possibly consider re-election after all the harm you've caused?
NOTE: Due to overwhelming interest, I will be updating Gulag Chicago with all of my questions to Mayor Lightfoot this past year. When you see all the clips together, you realize just how evil this situation is.
This week I asked Mayor Lightfoot another simple question - why she is even considering re-election now that Chicago’s been utterly destroyed by her liberal policies. Since her election, violent crime has reached historic and heartbreaking levels with no end in sight. The once storied Magnificent Mile has become the “Mile of Fear” with the owner of Water Tower Place literally and figuratively throwing the keys at the lender. High-end retailers are fleeing Chicago’s business district and that means the tax base of the city is deteriorating. What will become of Chicago and it’s people?
For many Americans, Chicago symbolizes left-wing social controls and ideology. But this is my home. I am an Irish Catholic kid from Chicago’s South Side. Just like the citizens of Ukraine, we believe our city is worth fighting the tyrants for. I don’t blame my friends for fleeing to Florida - I don’t. But I can’t just give up and let everything that I know and love die.
That’s why for a year now I’ve gone into the snake pit of Mayor Lightfoot’s press conferences - regardless of her investigations of me on the taxpayer’s dime, what she says to me or how her and her security people threaten me.
As a result of my brutal honesty this week - this video has again gone viral and I am grateful for that. It’s been a challenge to question tyranny in darkness, censored or erased from public eyes. That’s what the Democrat Party has attempted to do with my reporting. Obliterate it. Hide it. Before anyone gets a chance to see it or think about it.
No more.
Thanks to FOX News, Daily Caller, Daily Mail, Yahoo, MSN and thousands of other news outlets and social channels, every day people are seeing and sharing this video and asking Mayor Lightfoot the same question that I asked her.
They are witnessing her response to my question: “I disagree with you completely and I refuse to dignify your question with an answer,” said Mayor Lightfoot.
Why do my questions to Mayor Lightfoot continue to go viral? Because most reporters aren’t reporters. They aren’t journalists and they aren’t doing the peoples’ work. They serve more powerful masters and everyday Americans know it.
I will continue to ask Mayor Lightfoot the tough questions that deserve to be asked. Only by holding her and other corrupt politicians to account will we be able to save America’s once great cities.
We need more reporters like William Kelly who isn't afraid of asking the questions which need to be addressed concerning the ongoing corruption in Chicago and Illinois

You are doing the right thing. Thank you William for your courage in a world of cowardly self-interest.
