Chicago Democrats Turning on Mayor Brandon Johnson
Chicago Democrats TURN ON Mayor after he blames deadly weekend on slavery. This comes as residents are now signing petitions to get the CPD and the Mayor to lock up repeat offenders. However, the mayor is more concerned with blaming slavery for why black kids in Chicago continue to be killed.

Over 40 people were reportedly shot in Chicago, and Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed Trump. Then one reporter turned the question back on him.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson was confronted after a violent weekend in the city, and the exchange quickly turned into one of the sharpest moments of the press conference.
Johnson blamed President Trump, federal cuts, and national politics while discussing gun violence, public safety, and community resources.
Then a reporter turned the question back on him.
After more than 40 people were reportedly shot and multiple people were killed, the reporter asked whether Trump was really the failure, or whether Brandon Johnson had failed Chicago.
The mayor pushed back, blamed Trump again, defended his administration’s safety plan, and said the reporter had already asked his questions.
Then the reporter kept going.
He brought up police staffing, Johnson’s past comments about policing, violent repeat offenders, and the mayor’s own security detail.
That is when Johnson cut him off and told him he was done.
Was the reporter right to press Brandon Johnson this hard, or did the mayor have a point?
