Chicago residents unload on 'most hated' mayor Brandon Johnson for crazy migrant spending

Embattled Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson faced furious residents at a town hall meeting over the migrant crisis as they called for Donald Trump to 'make an example' out of him.

Johnson, 48, has endured a torrid tenure as Mayor since his election last year, with Chicagoans now sounding off on his handling of the migrant crisis and the huge taxpayer funds he has poured into the issue.

A lawsuit earlier this year revealed that from August 2022 to June 2024, over 42,000 migrants entered Chicago, and Johnson spent a staggering $400 million tackling the influx - with a huge percentage going towards private companies.

Fury over Johnson's approach reached boiling point Tuesday as residents had an opportunity to make their voices heard directly to the Democrat.

One exasperated woman told him: 'We're in a billion-dollar deficit, and you spent half of our money on illegals?'

She also cited Johnson's stated refusal to aid ICE in allowing Trump's mass deportation plan, saying:  'You all stood up there and said you will not allow Trump to come here and get these illegals... Trump, Tom Homan, make an example of this ne*** right here first.'

Johnson took issue with her use of the word 'ne***', and cut off her mic while telling her only to use 'appropriate' language.

When her mic was turned back on, the resident grew even more irate as she refused to be silenced by Johnson, barking back at him: 'Okay, now we're about to make y'all famous.'

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Brandon probably figures he's no worse than Lightfoot:

It's been discovered under Lori Lightfoot the city's Department of Law provided pro bono legal services to illegals in Chicago.

Chicago was a better place when the mobsters ran it.  Back they you knew the real criminals were the Chicago politicians.

brandon johnson is living proof that the voters of Chicago would actually vote for someone dumber than lori lightfoot for mayor.

The $64 question is:
Will whoever is elected to be his successor continue the trend?

What do YOU think...?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

WOW. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) is facing a $1.5 billion deficit. He blew OVER $600 MILLION on migrants while the city was drowning. Now he’s begging taxpayers for a bailout and pushing "progressive revenue" schemes.
Sen. Craig Wilcox (R-IL) nails it: “Taxpayers shouldn’t bail out Chicago’s financial mismanagement AGAIN!”
