Chicago Journalist Defends Lori Lightfoot’s Reported Decision Not To Interview With White Reporters

During an appearance on CNN on Thursday, Washington, D.C., bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times Lynn Sweet defended Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s reported decision to temporarily suspend one-on-one interviews with white journalists.

On CNN’s “New Day,” co-host John Berman discussed Lightfoot’s reported decision with Sweet, who stated, “I just want to say from the beginning, I am not troubled by this. I’ve been part of the Chicago press corps for a long, long time, and Lori Lightfoot did not say anything that we did not know.”
