<p id="iWtIfj">The love is gone for Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago &#8212; at least from some members of the first union to endorse her in 2019.</p>
<p>At a fundraiser for Plumbers Union Local 130 on Sunday, Lightfoot was met with boos from the crowd after she was introduced on stage, video shows.</p>
<p id="3PChJx">The mayor &#8220;spoke for less than a minute. And there was a resounding booing throughout the room,&#8221; one reported attendee told the paper. &#8220;Almost deafening &#8230; I was sitting at the table with a bunch of plumbers. They’re like, ‘We’ve never heard that before here.’ … Clearly, their membership is not with her. &#8230; They were calling her names. It was bad.&#8221;</p>
<p>In video of the booing incident, one person is heard saying, &#8220;I knew that was going to happen.&#8221; Another seemingly says, &#8220;That’s f***ing brutal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Plumbers Union Local 130 recording secretary Pat McCarthy admitted that she heard the booing but said Lightfoot was able to finish her remarks, rebutting a notion that she was technically &#8220;booed off the stage.&#8221;</p>
<p id="goCttr">“I was there when she was speaking,&#8221; McCarthy said. &#8220;There were a couple of people in the corner that booed. But it was nothing significant. And it didn’t disrupt the event at all.&#8221;</p>
<p id="CJ7D3s">“I would have to suspect whoever was booing at that event was not a member of this local,&#8221; the recording secretary speculated. &#8220;We respect her and we have no problems with the mayor.”</p>
<p id="C8m5AL">Lightfoot’s political director Dave Mellet downplayed the booing, too.</p>
<p id="4v7sl9">“I don’t believe that she was, quote-unquote, ‘booed’ at this event,” Mellet told the Sun-Times. “I believe she was well received. There may have been a couple of people in the room who came in there to shout and be loud.”</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/lori-lightfoot-drowned-out-boos-union-fundraiser">noted</a> by Fox News, Lightfoot has been catching heat from unions over her vaccine mandate, requiring &#8220;city workers to report their COVID-19 vaccination status or be placed on unpaid leave.&#8221;</p>
<p>The mandate has already <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-illinois-sheriffs-departments-refuse-chicagos-request-to-staff-streets-during-possible-police-shortage">caused a crisis</a> in policing, which is already strained in the crime-plagued city.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) President John Catanzara said it’s not just his union but first responders, firefighters and labor unions that oppose the mandate,&#8221; the Fox News report outlined. &#8220;He has instructed officers to file for exemptions to receiving vaccines and provided instructions for what officers should do if given a direct order to report on the city portal their vaccination status.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Both sides have since taken legal action against each other,&#8221; the report added. &#8220;A judge has granted the city’s request for a temporary injunction barring Catanzara from making any public comments that encourage FOP members to disobey the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate until the next hearing on the city’s lawsuit on Oct. 25.&#8221;</p>
