Kennedy Bartley, a high-ranking aide to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, is facing significant backlash following resurfaced comments in which she referred to police officers as 'f---ing pigs' and expressed support for police abolition. These remarks, made during a 2021 podcast, have prompted several aldermen to demand her resignation, citing concerns over her alleged anti-Semitic language and inflammatory statements about law enforcement. Bartley's controversial tweet following a Hamas attack further ignited the controversy, with critics interpreting her words as a call for the destruction of Israel. Despite calls for her dismissal, Mayor Johnson has defended Bartley, asserting that her views do not reflect his administration's values and emphasizing her competence in her role. The ongoing internal conflict has been exacerbated by a recent poll showing Johnson's approval ratings at just 25%, raising questions about the impact of Bartley's situation on his leadership. As the fallout continues, city officials express frustration and skepticism about working with Bartley moving forward.
