Chicago police ‘like’ of anti-transgender post sparks investigation

CHICAGO — Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and interim police Superintendent Eric Carter announced an internal investigation Friday into the unauthorized “like” by the Chicago Police Department’s Twitter account of an anti-transgender tweet.

The CPD’s Twitter liked a post made Wednesday by country music singer Travis Tritt encouraging a boycott of Anheuser-Busch products after the company’s Bud Light brand collaborated on an ad with social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender woman.

Mulvaney, who has documented her yearlong transition to womanhood for her millions of social media followers, posted an Instagram video making jokes about the “March Madness” college basketball tournament.
