Ben reads Lori Lightfoot's furious one-star Yelp review accusing limo driver Carlos of pissing on her toilet, being a bad navigator, and being sexist about phone numbers, all written before she became mayor.
- Lori Lightfoot worked on the police accountability task force, so she knows accountability.
- In August 2017, Lightfoot left a one-star Yelp review of VIP Limousine in Chicago after going out with her wife.
- Lightfoot's review: driver Carlos showed up early, then wanted to use their bathroom and pissed all over the toilet.
- Carlos drove the stretch Cadillac Escalade down narrow neighborhood streets using a GPS that made no sense, and Lightfoot had to give him directions.
- Carlos asked for a gentleman's phone number instead of Lightfoot's, explaining that girls take too many pictures and run down their phone batteries.
- When Lightfoot questioned his reasoning, Carlos rudely closed the window divider while she was talking.
- VIP Limousine's response: their camera footage shows Carlos never entered the home—one of her many guests could have used the bathroom.
- The company explains drivers ask for a gentleman's number to avoid seeming inappropriate requesting a lady's contact information.
- VIP Limousine calls Lightfoot sexist, notes her credit card was declining during payment, and points out she received a free vehicle upgrade worth twice what she paid.
- The company concludes: Carlos arrived early, got her to the event on time and safely, and tells Lightfoot to appreciate great service when she receives it.
