Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot took hits for being “tone-deaf” and was slammed as the “Marie Antoinette of America’s mayors” on Monday’s “Outnumbered,” where the panel dissected footage of her dancing in the streets of The Windy City at Sunday’s Lunar New Year parade amid startling crime surges.

Her answer was they should go cashless. Really? You want to sell tamales with a credit card?”
