Chicago mayor claims black people ‘are the most generous people on the planet’



In a viral video, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) decided to clap back at critics who accuse him of only hiring black people by claiming that black people are “the most generous people on the planet.”

“Some detractors that will push back on me and say, ‘You know the only thing that the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people.’ No, what I’m saying is when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet,” Johnson said in an interview.

“So business and economic neighborhood development, the mayor is a black woman. Department of planning development is a black woman. Infrastructure deputy mayor is a black woman. Chief operations officer is a black man. Budget director is a black woman. Senior adviser is a black man,” he continued.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock of “Jason Whitlock Harmony” is not only unimpressed with Johnson’s statements, but worries this will only make things worse for black people.


“This kind of conversation and talk, very problematic, and sets the stage for white bigots, white nationalists, to get into office, to get into positions of power,” Whitlock says.

BlazeTV contributor Delano Squires is “not surprised.”

“This is Brandon Johnson’s MO. He makes Lori Lightfoot look like a fairly reasonable public executive, because if there ever was a person who personified racial idolatry, I think it’s Brandon Johnson,” Squires tells Whitlock and BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle.

“It seems to be the main thing that he likes to talk about, so I’m not surprised that he did this,” Squires continues, adding, “It’s not good coming from a public executive, and it’s the type of thing that casts doubt on the competency of the people that he hires.”

Squires also notes that in the interview, Johnson didn’t name any of his hires. Rather, he simply described them by the color of their skin.

“Which, again, goes to show you the depth of his thinking. But it’s the type of thing that’ll call into question their qualifications, because people will say, ‘Oh, all Mayor Johnson wants is somebody who has the right skin color,'” he explains.

“This is not the way you lead a city, and it’s not the way you lead a city in 21st-century America. This reminds me of how, maybe, you know, the old Irish or Italian politicians might have talked in the turn of the century when this sort of racial patronage was much more common,” he continues.

“This is the type of thing that can lead to a serious sort of backlash that I don’t think is good for anyone,” he adds.

MUST-SEE: Chicago residents TORCH woke mayor for migrant crisis



Chicago residents are finally fed up with Democratic leadership and are signaling a shift as frustration over crime and the migrant crisis boils over.

“You are so strong about protecting those aliens, but you won’t do nothing for the U.S. citizens,” a Chicago resident said in a fiery speech at a city council meeting.

“We are the ones who pay your salaries. Let me accentuate on that. But yet, you want to overlook us like we don’t exist. Well, you’re not going to exist for the next election, because there’s a 10-year prison sentence when you want to stand up here for those illegals,” she continued.

“That’s interesting,” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” comments.

But she wasn’t the only resident standing up to the Democrats that run the city.


“Trump, Tom Homan, make an example out of this negro right here first,” fitness trainer and Chicago resident Danielle Carter-Williams said at the city council meeting, aiming her comment at Mayor Brandon Johnson.

“You all stood up there and said, you will not allow Trump to come in here and get these illegals. Yeah, you can smile. We’re in a billion-dollar deficit, and you spent half of our money, half of that, on illegals. You campaign, you campaign, and doubled down that you would not raise property taxes,” she continued.

“And here we are right now. You wanted to raise our taxes $300 million. They shut it down. OK, now we back here for $150 million,” Carter-Williams said, refusing to back down. “You said you were going to take Trump to court to protect these illegals.”

“Flip Chicago red,” she added, before leaving the podium.

Jon Stewart officially a ‘wokester’— left out KEY details on crime in Democrat-run cities



Jon Stewart was once what people might call a “liberal.” Now, he’s just like all the others who abandoned their integrity to go off the “woke” deep end.

“He’s no longer a liberal, he is just sort of a ‘wokester,’” Dave Rubin says, before showing a clip of Stewart attempting to debunk the GOP’s city crime narrative.

“It’s the dang Democrat-encouraged crime. It’s one of the right’s favorite talking points, not just from Milwaukee but for all Democratic run cities,” Stewart mocked. “Those cities are crime-infested holes where life is miserable and everyone hates everybody.”

“By the way, it does turn out that crime is actually down,” he continued, before referencing a clip of Lester Holt claiming that the FBI reported the nation’s violent crime rate has dropped dramatically this year.

“It’s all a misunderstanding; but now that the FBI numbers are out, I’m sure that the right-wing media will adjust accordingly,” Stewart mocked again, sharing a clip of a Fox News host saying that cities still have a poor quality of life while a video of a car doing donuts plays in the background.

“He’s making the reverse point of the point he’s trying to make. He’s showing, ‘Oh these guys are doing double donuts.’ Yes, it’s illegal and people can be killed,” Rubin comments.

But that’s not all.

The reason Stewart is able to regurgitate those FBI numbers is because a large portion of crime is never reported to the FBI in the first place.

According to a report by the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, 37% of police departments stopped reporting crime data to the FBI, including large departments for Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.

For other jurisdictions like Baltimore and Nashville, crimes are being underreported or undercounted.

“So, again, we can all argue about the percentages and everything else, but we simply know that in Republican-run cities you cannot run into a CVS and steal all of the stuff,” Rubin says.

Liberal cities DESTROYED by WOKE policies



Walmart recently announced the closure of four Chicago stores that became effective on April 16. Why?

Because people in those areas have been stealing an alarming amount of stuff off the shelves. However, some don’t see it that way.

One shopper has implied that the closures are perhaps due to Walmart not wanting to “serve black and brown communities because of racism,” while outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has alleged that it’s because of “retailers that won’t institute plans like having security officers in their stores” and “making sure that they’ve got cameras that are actually operational.”

Lauren Chen of "Pseudo-Intellectual" has a different opinion.

She says, “It’s not racism that’s causing Walmart to close, and it’s not Walmart’s lack of security either that’s at fault here. It is squarely the fault of the politicians who’ve essentially made it impossible for stores to thrive because they refuse to punish criminals.”

She adds that it “seems like every other day social media is flooded with videos of people in some big Democrat city,” looting their local Walmarts or Targets as if they’re “an all-you-can-steal buffet.”

Large retailers like Walmart depend on a high volume of goods being sold because their margins are so low — which leaves them uniquely vulnerable to theft.

Chen hammers home her point: that it’s not directly the fault of the people or the retailer, but of the politicians and community leaders who refuse to prosecute criminals.

Chen says that the “neighborhoods in Chicago are essentially lawless hellholes, where people steal whatever they want — absolutely no fear for repercussions — and instead of trying to address this issue of crime, these community leaders in Chicago instead are just mad at Walmart.”

Teens attack woman in Chicago: The new Gotham City



Over the weekend, a mob of black youths took to the streets in Chicago to terrorize the residents of the city.

The youths called it a “teen takeover,” and a group of them were caught on video swarming and then beating a young white woman for no apparent reason.

Keith Malinak of "Pat Gray Unleashed" says it's the “third world-ification of America,” and it's happening right before our eyes.

He compares it to "Grand Theft Auto," saying that it’s “literally all that these big cities are anymore.”

Despite the video evidence depicting clear footage of the attack, no arrests have been made.

Malinak points out that the mayor-elect, Brandon Johnson, or as he calls him, “the guy in Chicago replacing Beetlejuice,” had a less than appropriate response.

Johnson’s response went as follows: “It is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their communities. Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly ... under adult guidance and supervision to ensure that every part of our city remains welcome for both residents and visitors.”

“Chicago, you’re screwed, and you’re not coming back,” Malinak responds.

Gray adds his two cents.

“People are sick and tired of crime, and they’re sick and tired of Democrats not doing anything about it — in fact doing the opposite. And that’s letting criminals get back on the street and commit crime again.”
