CHICAGO — In recent years, Chicago’s leaders have blamed a wide range of external factors for the city’s infamous street violence. They’ve pointed fingers at Donald Trump, Indiana, Kim Foxx, and gun manufacturers, among others.
On Monday, after 108 people were shot, 19 fatally, during the Independence Day weekend, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson became the first leader to blame Richard Milhous Nixon.
“We are standing here today talking about a violent weekend because of generations of disinvestment,” Johnson told a room full of reporters.
“Black death has been unfortunately accepted in this country for a very long time,” Johnson claimed. “We had a chance 60 years ago to get at the root causes and people mocked President [Lyndon] Johnson and we ended up with Richard Nixon.”

Is he really that stupid? Or does he just think everybody else is that stupid.
Or is this a tale not intended to be believed, but pretending to believe it is a loyalty test?
“Is he really that stupid? Or does he just think everybody else is that stupid.”
Yes and YES
Do you remember the bills you have to pay?
Or even yesterday?
Are they letting Benjamin Harrison off the hook?
LBJ bragged that he would be having Johnson and his ilk “...vote Democrat for the next 200 years...”.
Maybe they’ll figure it out in the next 140...
It's our fault that they're killing each other.
Got it.
Black Death? That was in Europe.
You Young Americans say the strangest things cough cough
They’re trying everything. Something will stick, even if it’s Nixon. Desperate.
It wasn’t inadvertently, it was by design.
I blame it on the Bossa Nova. ;)

Thank God, relief, all this time I thought it was the Welfare State and the breakup of the family by substituting big government for daddy...
I’ll go for the simple answer.... it’s the segment of society that has the poorest impulse control.

“...Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said in May that her office is developing a policy not to prosecute gun, theft, and drug charges stemming from certain traffic stops...”
The guy who didn’t hand out enough free stuff is dead, so it’s all his fault.
Johnson’s gaslighting. From day one he has used the lame excuse that a lack of investment in black lives is the cause of the black crime wave particularly youth crime.
