Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson, the least popular mayor in the country, went on a rant Thursday and called President Donald Trump a racist “monster” for investigating the mayor’s city hiring practices.
Johnson, a self-professed “progressive,” raised eyebrows last weekend when he told a congregation of churchgoers that he is proud to have filled all his top posts with black people. His comment spurred a federal probe into his hiring practices under the suspicion that his discriminatory, race-based hiring might violate civil rights and equal opportunity laws.
In response to the investigation, Johnson lashed out, and, as he typically does, he blamed his opponents, including Trump, of “racism.”
In his rant, Johnson accused Trump of displaying of “animus towards women, people of color, [and] working people.”
“We have always known who he has been,” the mayor spat out. “This is not a surprise. He’s a monster, period. We have the most diverse administration in the history of Chicago, and he is threatened by that.”
Johnson stands as one of the least popular mayors in the country. His most recent polling shows that he has a disastrous approval rating of 6.6 percent. The same survey noted that only 8.2 percent of respondents said they would vote for Johnson if an election for mayor were held today.
“79.9 percent of voters disapprove of Johnson, with just 6.6 percent holding a favorable view — a net favorability of -73.3 percent,” the survey revealed.
While Johnson has constantly focused his comments on the purported “racism” of his opponents and has couched most criticism as racist in intent, the survey also found that only 11 percent felt racism was an important issue facing Chicagoans.
Utah’s Republican Senator Mike Lee blasted Johnson after his latest attack on Trump.

By their words ye shall know them.
Given the % of blacks in Chicago, you would expect a 20% minimum like factor as a baseline. If he is at 6.6% overall approval, his approval must be negative among hispanic and white people.
Chitcago is LOST!
Past time to withdraw.
LORD, when is this creep’s term up?
He’ll be reelected, probably in a landslide. I’d be amazed at any other outcome. It’s the Chicago Way.
The only racists and monsters I see are the demonrats.
True that.

I hope soon. But I’m not holding my breath waiting for him to be shown the door.
“His most recent polling shows that he has a disastrous approval rating of 6.6 percent.”
Isn’t that about the same percentage as the approval for our congressional thieves?
The Ork occupation of Chicongo.
We’re sorry, your Race card has been rejected. Please give an alternative payment.
Like others he is guilty of fomenting physical violence.
A mentally disturbed Democrat watching TV would set out to treat our leaders like the one who came up to the couple at the Jewish Museum.
He is as guilty as Maxine Waters.

The laws were WRITTEN in a colorblind manner, but everyone knew they were not to be ENFORCED in a colorblind manner.
...except, I guess, Trump.
I bet Trump has very many more black friends than Brandon has white friends.
A threatened monster. Is this getting the message out?
Ballots have no ideology.
