Two Chicago journalists reported that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has become so "stressed out" that he was hospitalized for panic attacks. John Kass and Anita Padilla broke the news on WGN-AM's Chicago Way Podcast on January 16, saying that Johnson needed medical help due to increasing stress.
They were talking about the illegal immigrant problem on air when Kass said "No amount of anti-depressants can cure him of this problem."
"I know, it's so true," Padilla said. "And you know, I actually, you brought it up, I was gonna bring it up."
"The panic attacks?" Kass asked. "The mayor's panic attacks? Can we talk about that?"
"Can we talk about that?" Padilla asked. "Because sources told me, two sources told me that he has been in the hospital for these panic attacks. And he is stressed out because this is a big, big job for him."
"He wasn't ready for it," Kass said.
"He's not ready for it, he is not ready for it," Padilla said. "He is not. He's not a leader. I'm sorry. He's not a leader. And you know a leader you know, brings people up and supports them and the Chicago Police are still waiting to see where that comes from. Yeah, he put in a good superintendent. But I still think that he needs to prove himself to the police. You know, where does he stand on that? But this immigration issue? This is not helping him at all this situation."
"And you know, when you call yourself a 'sanctuary city', you call yourself a 'sanctuary state' and guess what's gonna happen?" Padilla said.
"Don't blame Texas," she continued, "because Texas if you look at what they're dealing with, they have a massive influx. We don't even show the videos on television, the amount of people that are just standing around, you know, and now they're desperate because what happens when people don't have money or they don't have food, they they start breaking into things. They start committing crimes they start working for the cartels, they start doing human trafficking, they start becoming victims of human trafficking. So they had to do— what are they gonna do with all these people— they had to get them out of their city, and well, sanctuary city, you're the sanctuary city. So you're gonna get what you asked for."
Johnson has been under increasing pressure while on the job as illegal immigrants continue to pour into the city, fueled by Texas Governor Greg Abbott's bussing of the individuals from the border region to Democrat-led cities. He has asked Texas to stop sending illegal immigrants north, to no avail. Johnson has gone so far as to suggest that Abbott has staged an attack on "leaders of color" by shipping illegal immigrants to Chicago and New York, headed by Mayor Eric Adams.
"He is attacking democratically-run cities, and particularly cities that are being led by black leaders or leaders of color," Johnson said. "This is unconscionable. I mean, it’s a very raggedy approach. And quite frankly, not only is it reckless and raggedy, but it is evil-spirited."
Padilla worked for NBC 5 from 1997-2007 and for Fox 32 from 2007-2023 before taking a position with Florida Voice News.
Yeah, I feel like you do. When reality meets idealism it hurts. But most of us outgrow the idealism stage at a younger age.
While he was in a state of panic, the terror-filled Mayor asked Texas to please stop sending illegal immigrants to his virtuous “sanctuary city” (sap-happily created to welcome migrants with safety, security, and tons of tax-paid free things).
The sedated, panic-stricken Mayor has now reached the end of his rope, and has gone so far as to unkindly suggest that Gov Abbott is staging attacks on “leaders of color” by shipping out illegal immigrants to “migrant sanctuaries” like colorful Chicago and New York.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Doesnt the tolerant and compassionate Mayor know he is discriminating against the handicapped?
Sure the Mayor is filled with fear and loathing watching the Chicago treasury he was planning on looting being eaten up by a bunch of Third World freeloaders.
But attacking the handicapped is really illiberal in the extreme.
It was reported Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has become
so “stressed out” that he was hospitalized for “panic attacks.”
“Panic attacks”......that’s hospital baffle-gab for “the Mayor was self-medicating
by downing assorted hallucinogens with boilermakers interspersed with hits of cocaine.”
No DEI hire is realizing this is above his pay grade and wants out
Ha! The graft and greed of leftist government can get overwhelmed by events. Who knew?
Daley was old school democrat. Crooked as hell but still patriotic and ran a city that worked like a clock. Today’s democrats are still crooked but hate America and far too ignorant to run anything right.
They aren't objects being 'shipped', they're being sent where they request to go.
Don't like the fact undocumented people of color are coming to your town? Then don't try to make political hay until you've forked yourself into a corner.
HA! Panic attacks?!!! Wait till he gets the bill!
All those NGOs and enablers of the INVADERS should welcome 3 or 4 into their homes. Problem solved.
embrace the suck
He is a Big Mouth pathetic weakling. A RAT through and through.
Groot was tougher. LOL
You all folks in Chicago sure are stoopid.
This moron and the last mayor are about as bad as they come.
And you elected them, soooo live with them.
So this race baiting, big fat Baby Huey of a Democrat mayor can’t cut it and he’s been reduced to a blubbering mess in need of Xanax and a safe space.
Good God Almighty, what a complete and total wuss.
