Screencap of Twitter\/X video.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson appeared on MSNBC\u2019s Morning Joe on Tuesday morning and repeatedly refused to answer when host Joe Scarborough asked him if more police would reduce crime in the city.<\/p>\n

The entire conversation was predicated on the idea that Trump may send federal forces to the crime-torn city and Scarborough was trying so hard to tee up the ball for Johnson, almost outright urging him to give the obvious answer, but Johnson just refused to respond.<\/p>\n

When he finally did offer an answer, it was all about other issues like affordable housing and social welfare spending. He is such a disaster of a mayor.<\/p>\n

Chicago mayor repeatedly dodges MSNBC questions about whether city needs more police<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson dodged repeated questions from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Tuesday about whether an increased police presence in the city would help cut down on crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you believe that the streets of Chicago would be safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the streets of Chicago?\u201d Scarborough asked Johnson. <\/p>\n

Scarborough posed the question to the liberal Chicago mayor multiple times. Johnson instead emphasized the need for expanded social programs, including affordable housing. <\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the city of Chicago and cities across America would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing. Look, I\u2019m not saying\u2014\u201d Johnson began, before Scarborough cut him off, noting it wasn\u2019t the question he had asked.<\/p>\n

Scarborough pressed again, asking if more officers would reduce crime. Johnson said it shouldn\u2019t be narrowed down to police alone, calling that an \u201cantiquated approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you hearing what I\u2019m saying?\u201d Scarborough pressed again.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Watch the video. This is painful:<\/p>\n

Trump has put Democrats in an impossible position where they actually have to deny reality. It\u2019s truly something to behold.<\/p>\n
