Chicago Mayor Johnson Goes on Attack Against the ‘Evilness’ of Donald Trump’s Immigration Plan

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson spoke Saturday for the first time in response to Donald Trump’s plans to ramp up deportation operations in Chicago, and delivered a diatribe filled with left-wing talking points but little else.

The self-described “progressive” Democrat mayor appeared on CNN host Victor Blackwell’s “First of All” podcast on Saturday, but despite being asked over and over about whether or not he would block Trump’s deportation efforts, Johnson refused to answer and instead spewed a constant stream of anti-Trump talking points and liberal doggerel.


Blackwell opened his podcast asking the mayor, “Let’s start here your reaction to Homan saying he’s going to come after you if you stand in his way.”


“Well, you know, unfortunately — first of all, good morning and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to the people of the globe,” the mayor began. “Look the president elect and the former president of the United States of America, Trump, has demonstrated an incredible disdain for people, and my responsibility as Mayor of the City of Chicago is to invest in people, to protect people, and connect them to the resources that are ultimately needed in order to build not just a better, stronger, safer Chicago, but to build in the economy that’s sustainable,” Johnson said while working to avoid the question.

Oh, goody goody!  He doesn't get it.

Apparently, "mean-spirited hate-monger" is no longer enough.

 

What's the problem?  Embrace the evil.  Am I evil?  Yes, I am!

Someone needs to do the Devil's work on God's good green Earth.

In a way it's sad.  Chicago used to be the core of the Old Left in America. Back then the Left thought of itself as the protectors of the working class and labor protectionism was standard Left-wing policy.  The current iterate the Left has so lost any connection to its roots, that it's ceded the defense of working-class interests to the Right.  (We'll see whether, beside labor protectionism, to which he seems entirely committed, whether Trump will actually look out for the working class, and no, the pro-union Labor Secretary nominee doesn't count, union bosses are part of the professional managerial class, just like the C-Suite denizens of all but privately-held corporations, fund managers, university administrators and functionaries of the Deep State.)

I wonder how long the Black voters that put him in office will put up with him prioritizing the illegals over them? I am surprised that Blacks haven’t had a more violent response to their replacement by their slave masters.

Sounds like he's sticking with the Biden administration stance on immigration.

You mean we get a double when we say Let's go Brandon?
