Civil Rights attorney Leo Terrell joined “Fox & Friends” Tuesday to weigh in on the response to the Supreme Court ruling from Democrats across the country. Terrell harshly criticized Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot’s “F— Clarence Thomas” remark at a pride event in Chicago over the weekend calling it “a distraction” from Chicago’s raging crime. 

CHICAGO MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT MAKES PROFANE ATTACK ON SCOTUS AT PRIDE EVENT: ‘F— CLARENCE THOMAS’ 

LEO TERRELL: This is very, very upsetting. The profanity she used at Clarence Thomas justifies why the Supreme Court justices need protection 24/7. You know what she did? She sent a coded message by using the F-word, by saying, hey, I don’t care what happens to him. I don’t care. I don’t care about his security. I don’t care about his safety. And the thing about it, she doubled down and lies about the impact of the abortion ruling. I want to be as clear as possible. 30 years as a civil rights attorney, Steve, this case has nothing to do with gay rights. It has nothing to do with interracial relationships. You know what this is? This is a lie and a distraction from the crime that is going on in Chicago. Our colleague …  was a tear-jerker and she’s trying to use this as a distraction. It’s insulting.
