Chicago Mayor Attacks ''Evilness'' of Donald Trump''s Immigration Plan

 Mayor Brandon Johnson
...Hizzonner da Mare of Chicago. He was elected in April 2023 to replace the disastrous Lori Lightfoot and immediately set about out-Richtering her. A member of the Democratic Party (naturally), Johnson previously worked as a social studies teacher in the city's stellar public schools system. He helped organize the 2012 teachers strike. Prior to becoming Da Mare, he served on the Cook County Board of Boodling Commissioners from 2018 to 2023...

's plans to ramp up deportation operations in Chicago, and delivered a diatribe filled with left-wing talking points but little else.

The self-described ''progressive'' Democrat mayor appeared on CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
 host Victor Blackwell's ''First of All'' podcast on Saturday, but despite being asked over and over about whether or not he would block Trump's deportation efforts, Johnson refused to answer and instead spewed a constant stream of anti-Trump talking points and liberal doggerel.

Blackwell opened his podcast asking the mayor, ''Let's start here your reaction to Homan saying he's going to come after you if you stand in his way.''

''Well, you know, unfortunately — first of all, good morning and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to the people of the globe,'' the mayor began. ''Look the president elect and the former president of the United States of America, Trump, has demonstrated an incredible disdain for people, and my responsibility as Mayor of the City of Chicago is to invest in people, to protect people, and connect them to the resources that are ultimately needed in order to build not just a better, stronger, safer Chicago, but to build in the economy that's sustainable,'' Johnson said while working to avoid the question.
He’s right: that is his job. He should try doing it.
''You know, this President has shown disdain towards not just immigrants colonists, but lovers of public education. He is dead set on abolishing the entire education department. As a former public school teacher, as a product of public education, as someone who sends my children to public schools; working people around this country want public education to work,'' Johnson said, continuing with his anti-Trump talking points.
One needn’t be a public education professional to want public education to work. How has he improved Chicago’s public education outcomes as mayor?
''He has shown an incredible animus towards public housing. Public Housing has been the way in which families have found true stability, their ability to experience a human right. He has demonstrated contempt towards vouchers, which would ultimately make it hard for families to access affordable homes. We built 3600 affordable homes in the city of Chicago since I've been in office,'' the left-wing mayor said, patting himself on the back.
How many native Chicago voters are now living in those homes?
''He's also shown a great deal of evilness towards the Department of the Environment. He doesn't believe in science. Twenty percent of the world's fresh water is right here in the city of Chicago.
It’s called Lake Michigan, suggesting it belongs to more than just the city of Chicago.
We can build a green, blue economy to create real, sustainable opportunities for people.
So why haven’t you?
And so he has not just shown animus towards immigrants colonists. He has shown a great deal of animus towards working people across the city of Chicago,
…so much animus that they voted for him…
and it is my responsibility, and is my joy, to protect all residents of this beloved city,'' he said, still avoiding Blackwell's actual question.
