A town hall meeting in Illinois went south after an attendee insulted the Democratic mayor.
According to local media reports, the fighting broke out after a community activist insulted Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard.
“You gone, bitch,” he is reported to have said.
At this point, Henyard’s boyfriend is reported to have confronted the activist, Jedidiah Brown, leading to a phsyical altercation.
Upon seeing that her boyfriend had gotten involved, Henyard then pushed her table aside and ran to the back of the room in order to join the fisticuffs.

Police were soon called to the scene. It has not yet been confirmed whether any arrests were made.
The unseemly incident took place days after former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot released a report accusing Henyard of financial misconduct.
Lightfoot said in a statement:
The report details consistent mismanagement of Village finances through excessive spending on non-essential goods and services, systematic attempts by Mayor Henyard and others at her direction to hide the true financial condition of the Village from the Board of Trustees and the public, as well as other efforts to thwart efforts aimed at transparency as mandated under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”).
The report establishes the absence of competent governance and continued violations of governance norms during Mayor Henyard’s tenure.
The costs to taxpayers have been significant, starting with a substantial budget deficit, higher costs for basic necessities like liability insurance, and many lawsuits against the Village directly related to allegations of misconduct by Henyard and others.
Last year, The New York Post reported that Henyard, who was nicknamed the “Dolton Dictator,” spent over $43,000 in Amazon purchases one day, all while the town’s finances were facing significant difficulties.
Their report stated:
The shocking figures include Amazon purchases of $33,005, $4,715 and $5,609 on Jan. 5, 2023. More than $12,000 combined was spent at Best Buy, Target, Walgreens, Wayfair and Giftly.com between May 2023 and December 2023, based on the information Lightfoot has obtained so far.
Village credit cards were also used to fund trips for multiple people to Washington, DC, Austin, Texas, New York City, Atlanta and Las Vegas, as well as a few other spots, the report states.
In short, another Democratic official has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. It is not the first time that his has happened and it certainly won’t be the last.
