Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson<\/p>\n
Chicagoans should have known what to expect when they elected radical socialist Brandon Johnson as Mayor: a city engulfed in violence, robberies and chaos.<\/p>\n
Johnson, however, is quick to point fingers at anyone other than himself for the abject failures in his first few months.<\/p>\n
Rather than address the crime that is consuming the city, Johnson sued automakers Kia and Hyundai<\/a>, blaming them for the significant increase in car thefts in the city.<\/p>\n He said of the lawsuit, \u201cThe failure of Kia and Hyundai to install basic auto-theft prevention technology in these models is sheer negligence, and as a result, a citywide and nationwide crime spree around automobile theft has been unfolding right before our eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n Johnson has even placed the blame for violence in the city on big corporations.<\/a><\/p>\n When hordes of violent teens repeatedly took over city neighborhoods-committing actual crimes-Johnson was more concerned with policing words<\/a> than policing the streets.<\/p>\n In Johnson\u2019s first 30 days in office, crime rose\u00a038%<\/a> from the prior year. In his first 100 days, there were 204 homicides.<\/a><\/p>\n On Tuesday, Johnson hit back at critics and gave yet another excuse for his poor leadership and declining city by pulling the race card.<\/p>\n He told the Chicago Tribune<\/a> that he is held to a \u201cdifferent standard\u201d as a black man saying, \u201cThere is a different standard that I\u2019m held to. There is\u2026and that\u2019s not something that I\u2019m mad at, but that\u2019s just the reality. I\u2019m not the first person of color, particularly a Black man, that will be held to a different standard than other administrations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Even the word \u201cslow\u201d is racially charged in his world.<\/p>\n The Chicago Tribune reports:<\/a><\/p>\n A progressive who won the April runoff election with the backing of labor unions, Johnson alluded<\/a> to stories <\/a>and headlines<\/a> that mention a \u201cslow\u201d start to his administration. His administration still has commissioner vacancies in key cabinet departments such as public health, planning and development, transportation and housing. But the mayor objected to the use of the word \u201cslow\u201d and told his allies, \u201cI also need you all\u2019s help to call it out.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou all read the press. I don\u2019t. But you all look at these dynamics. You all know how there\u2019s been a certain, particular coverage of me, right? Think about it. You know, there\u2019s coverage of me being slow, right?\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThese are microaggressions, that if you don\u2019t have the lens of those who have lived through these experiences, you would just miss it. You would, because the same \u2014 some of the folks who would call me slow, do you understand what that term means? Particularly (toward) the Black community. So you have these forces that perpetuate a particular view of Blackness.\u201d<\/p>\n ************************<\/p>\n \u201cPerhaps things should go without saying, but as far as this dynamic that a Black man executive can\u2019t make decisions on his own,\u201d Johnson said before lambasting \u201cthe same forces\u201d that he said didn\u2019t believe he could balance a budget, unite the City Council or win the election. \u201cWell, let me just offer news for the city of Chicago: The people of Chicago elected me as mayor, and if anybody has a problem with it, come see me in four years.\u201d<\/p>\n Brandon Johnson is a fool and a racist and oh so sensitive now that all can see he has absolutely no clue.
