Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Ridiculed for Demanding ‘Ceasefire’ in Gaza as City Continues Violence SpiralWarner Todd Huston 25 Jan 2024
Chicago’s self-professed “progressive” Mayor Brandon Johnson is demanding a “ceasefire” in the action between Israel and Hamas terrorists, even as his city remains awash in gang violence.
Johnson spoke out on Wednesday as the city council debated a formal resolution condemning Israel for its efforts to root out and destroy the terror group responsible for the raid into Southern Israel that ended in more than a thousand dead Israeli civilians and more than 230 kidnapped citizens. More than 130 still remain in captivity at the hands of Hamas and several other terror groups.
During his comments on Jan. 24, Johnson claimed that “we” need a ceasefire. He prefaced his comments by speaking of “the violence that broke out several months ago,” but refused to properly define the Hamas foray into Southern Israel as a terror attack.
He went on, saying, “But at this point now, I believe we’re looking at 25,000 Palestinians that have been killed during this war. The killing has to stop. So, yes, we need a cease-fire,” Johnson said, according to the Chicago Tribune.
