Must See: This Is The Definition Of A Politician Who Is Truly Out-Of-Touch

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was slammed by Twitter users after she and wife Amy Eshleman posted a video wishing a 'joyous Kwanzaa' to all who celebrate.

'Joyous Kwanzaa, Chicago!' Lightfoot declared in a video shared online. 'The seven principles of Kwanzaa guide us to unity and cooperation as we work to uplift and protect our neighbors.'

'As you light the candles and gather in unity, we hope your holiday is filled with rejoicing and happiness,' Eshleman echoed.

The pair, who also used the holiday video as an opportunity to promote COVID-19 vaccinations, were criticized by Twitter users who cited the crime wave ravaging Chicago and Lightfoot's alleged failures as leader.

'Is this a Saturday Night Live skit?' challenged @ParkerRinger.

'One can only hope they include NOT stealing, obeying the law, not committing murder, produce your own income, feed and house your own kids, contribute to society and don't be bitter and angry,' @Jasonwarnick4 wrote. 'Have your people follow those rules and your City won't be in a permanent state of chaos.'

Others criticized Lightfoot for promoting the holiday, which was founded in 1966 by black nationalist Dr. Maulana Karenga, who was later convicted of torture, for being 'a centuries-old tradition.'

Kwanzaa is an annual celebration of African-American culture held from December 26 to January 1. The seven-day celebration honors seven principles of African culture, which Karenga believed contributed to building and reinforcing community among African-Americans. It also incorporates seven symbols that are meant to represent values and concepts reflective of African culture.

'Amy and I wish to extend a very beautiful and prosperous Kwanzaa to all of you celebrating this season,' Lightfoot said.

She said the holiday's seven principles - self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith - serve as a reminder for how Chicagoans should treat each other and their community.

'May the light of peace bring happiness to your home as we wish you the warmth and togetherness of Kwanzaa.'

'We wish you a wonderful seven nights celebration, and hope they are filled with renewal and joy,' Eshleman added.

Despite their heartfelt attempt at promoting peace and unity, the couple was slammed online.
