Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has told members of the press that members of Congress should be focusing less on arresting and deporting illegal alien criminals and more on slavery reparations.

Johnson was asked on Thursday about whether he would he would honor an invitation to appear with a handful of U.S. mayors before the U.S. House Oversight Committee to testify about so-called “sanctuary cities” like Chicago, New York, Denver and Boston.

Rather than answering the question, Johnson chose to play the race card instead and went off on a diatribe about slavery, reparations and how the U.S. today represents “what our country would look like had the confederacy won.”

My ancestor was a sergeant for the Northern Army. The debt is paid in full.

We moved to the area from New York when Mayor Washington was mayor. When it snowed and he was asked about plowing the streets, he answered something along the lines of “The Lord brought the snow, the Lord will take it away.” We were appalled.

Mayor Washington was 1967 to 1975. In 1979 we had a blizzard. HHMFL was in the virgin Islands with some female employee who was not his wife.

This guy has got to be the stupidest mayor in the country. He is just counting time until he is voted out. Chicago should jump the gun and recall him

Lol. I don’t think the Democrats are reading the room very well. They are welcome to continue with the woke.

One thing about Democrats is their commitment to keep raising the bar on hypocrisy. Here we have Mayor Johnson ranting about reparations for slaves who are long gone while he and his party have pledged to keep illegals in this country now because deporting them would raise prices given that illegals work for such low wages, slave wages as it were, and Johnson and the Democrats want to keep exploiting them.
