Ald. Raymond Lopez, who briefly mounted a mayoral run against Lightfoot — who faces the voters on Feb. 28 — said the mayor is essentially ignoring the crime crisis burgeoning under her watch and going so far as to publicly party as if there is nothing wrong in the city. "[S]he would make Nero jealous of the way she's able to ignore the reality on the streets while her citizenry are struggling, are in pain, and are under the gun of gang and gun violence on a daily basis," Lopez told Fox News.
"The fact that she is so disconnected from reality that she thinks it's apropos to dance and sing — even badly — at a joyous event while so many of my neighbors and fellow residents of Chicago are struggling, shows that she does not know or does not care about what people go through on a daily basis," he added.Nero, a 1st-century Roman emperor, infamously was said to have played his fiddle while the Great Fire engulfed the city around him in the year 64.
