Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Blames Predecessor, ‘Right-Wing Extremism’ for City Woes
New York Post ^ | Nov. 29, 2023 | Ryan King

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson whined Tuesday about “right-wing extremism” and blamed his predecessor, Lori Lightfoot, for the many troubles afflicting the Windy City.

Johnson insisted that he “inherited” the city’s ongoing migrant crisis and accused conservatives of unfairly caricaturing Chicago as a crime-ridden metropolis.

“It is abysmal and it’s an affront for everything that is good about this country, for the extremism in this country to use people as political tools to settle political scores for something that happened 400 years ago,” Johnson said during a riff on public safety. “They’re still mad that a black man is free in this country,” the mayor went on. “This is nothing new.”

He’s still pursuing the same left-wing policies his predecessor engaged in, and expects a better or different result?

Prolly need to throw in some racism and misogyny too, but I guess that is synonymous with right wing

It was ok when he was blaming us neanderthals but blaming beetlejuice is just too much.

Typical response from a Big City Mayor where Democrats have been running the city for over 75 years. Yeah...blame Republicans and everyone else for your poor policies (Sanctuary City)!

This fellow is a pale imitation of Biden’s attacks. But what does it tell you when this chump resorts to attacks on “right wing extremism”? It tells you that their focus groups tested it, and it may work (or it works better than anything else they have, which may not be saying much.) If this moron chooses to parrot it - we will be getting an earful by next November

Leftists are quick to blame others for their own incompetence. They never take responsibility for anything that goes wrong.

“his predecessor, Lori Lightfoot”

Lori Lightfoot was a member of the democratic party. Tjhere has been one republican mayor of Chicago in hbistory and that was Bill Thompson who last served in 1931, his second term. If he can just open his mouth a little wider he can get the other foot in there.

Maybe Mayor Johnson thinks Gianno Caldwell is some kind of "right wing extremist" who won't accept the results of the civil war. Hard to understand Johnson's thinking, since 80 percent of the victims of crime in Chicago are black people.

Gianno Caldwell's testimony about crime in Chicago

Is Mr. Caldwell also a white supremacist? He doesn't look like one.

I’m sure by “right-wing extremism,” he means the MAGA thugs who put a noose around Juicy Smollett’s poor neck.

Lori Lightfoot should send out some thugs to give him a whuppin’. Being dissed like that is over the line. The two Dem crime families of Chicago should go into all out war.
