Tiffany Henyard, the mayor of Dolton in Illinois and supervisor of Thornton Township nearby, was involved, according to reports, in a brawl during a Tuesday community meeting.
Social media has posted videos of the incident.
A local activist made some vicious jabs against Henyard. He suggested that she was a “half a**ed Mayor” and accused her of “sleeping [her] way to the top.”
The activist punctuated her speech with “You are gone, b***h.”
The man was then attacked by Henyard’s boyfriend Kamal Woods. Fists flew everywhere. The mayor got involved in the fight by running towards it.
Multiple witnesses said Henyard lost her wig during the scrap. She can be seen in the video flying in from the left side of the screen, as identified by her orange hair.
As he was being carried from the room by the security, one of the participants in the fight could be seen flashing the gang sign.
The fight was shocking, but Henyard’s actions were even more shocking.
“It was one thing for the men to fight, but I was shocked when she got involved,” a resident told ABC 7.
Henyard may have suffered an injury after hitting her head on a table, according to another attendee. The Daily Mail quoted multiple witnesses as saying that she had lost her wig. She also lost a pair of shoes, according to other outlets.
Tiffany Henyard seems to be in trouble wherever she goes. She has been accused of spending taxpayer money on gifts for herself and not accounting for it. She even used police resources in retaliatory raids to target businesses.
Lori Lightfoot – yes, the same Lori Lightfoot – was given responsibility for investigating Henyard. It is no coincidence that the anger simmering in the city reached a boiling point exactly one day after former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot released her findings.
Henyard has spent a lot of money on Woods. He made six figures, according to reports, as the director of the at-risk youth program in his township. Sweet gig, if you can get it.
Lightfoot’s investigation into Henyard was damning. Fox News reports that she discovered “hundreds and thousands (of dollars) which disappeared without receipts”.
The article also claimed that the Dolton Mayor used city credit cards twice to enjoy a great time in Las Vegas.
The report states that the City credit cards used for these trips were not able to bring any new business opportunities to the village.
Lightfoot’s report revealed that the city had mismanaged payments totaling $3 million. Over $171,000 was spent on travel expenses. More than $50,000 was spent locally at restaurants. And an additional $218,000 on Amazon.
Henyard will run for office in February, hoping to win back the Democratic Party’s nomination as mayor of Dolton.
