CHICAGO _ Chicago Ald. Brendan Reilly would doubtless hate the comparison, but one thing he has in common with President Donald Trump is a readiness to lob bombs on Twitter.
While most of his City Council colleagues play it safe (and dull) on social media, the 42nd Ward alderman lets it all hang out, often going after the president himself.
But Reilly took a break from his criticism of Trump on Sunday to pick on a new target: "suburban kids" who can't handle their booze.
"My thanks to Streets & Sanitation for cleaning-up the disgusting mess St. Patrick's Day brought to downtown Chicago," he tweeted Sunday morning. "No thanks to the thousands of drunk suburban kids who used our neighborhoods like a giant toilet bowl. Never ending cab horns from 1A-5A were a nice touch as well."
On Monday, Reilly was busy campaigning for Chris Kennedy, among the Democrats hoping to win his party's nod in the Democratic primary, and did not respond to requests for comment, meaning we do not know how he identified the downtown drunkards, or their excretions, as suburban.
