A political disagreement over the commemoration of Christopher Columbus has erupted into a four-letter tirade by Chicago’s Democratic mayor, Lori Lightfoot.A statue of Columbus – the Italian explorer who was for many years mistakenly believed to have discovered America – stood in Chicago's Grant Park between 1933 and 2020.The monument was removed in the wake of the George Floyd protests, after attempts to pull it down resulted in scuffles between protesters and Chicago police.But the removal of the statue offended member’s of Chicago’s Italian-American community who asked to use the Columbus statue in the annual in the Columbus Day Parade.But former Chicago Park District counsel general George Smyrniotis, says that Mayor Lightfoot vetoed an agreement with local Italian-Americans.He also says that Mayor Lightfoot insulted the lawyers that drafted the agreement, and even insults their credentials – asking them which law school they attended or if they even went to law school.In a lawsuit brought by Mr Smyrniotis, it is also alleged that the mayor used obscene language and called the lawyers “d***s.”The mayor allegedly told the lawyers: “You make some kind of secret agreement with Italians, what you are doing, you are out there measuring your d*** with the Italians seeing whose got the biggest d***."You are out there stroking your d*** over the Columbus statue," she added. "I am trying to keep Chicago Police officers from being shot and you are trying to get them shot.The furious mayor concluded: “My d*** is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d*** in Chicago.”Another statue of Columbus was also removed from a Chicago Park on the same day as the Grant Park Columbus.The second statue, sited in Arrigo Park.
