[@Dr.JHIrons]

This man is a disgrace….Show this traitor the door!

[@limomangeno]

He was told by people, that this site was toxic, but he continued to have work done .....now he wasted more millions....how he blames everyone else....this guy is a Clown....

[@blackredneck4378]

It would be nice if he worked this hard for American citizens.

[@dseason7216]

Nowhere does it state that Chicago has to provide a lifestyle for migrants ! Taken money from the public to give it to non citizens is absolutely wrong. How Chicago residents can just stand for this is incomprehensible ! Hey Mayor how about Plan A , take care of Americans first !!

[@Hope-vw7mx]

But Mayor, what have you’ve done for the Chicago citizens?

[@carolkrone3610]

Hey mayor, you invited the migrants to Chicago. Quit blaming Texas and republicans.

[@jtt1928]

I’m so tired of him,…..😢😢😢Black folks will freeze outside while migrants will get central heat smfh

[@ThePervertDJ]

what a guy... ask 100 questions, get the same answer

[@j.m.edwards1183]

He seems so proud of reducing the number of homeless migrants, I would love to know how many homeless citizens of Chicago now have housing?

[@MCLottotv]

Lol this dude Brandon Johnson is absolutely insane. If asked what is he doing for the citizens of Chicago (the people that voted for him) he only stares at you like a deer in headlights. Yes Mayor Brandon your job duties are toward your voters, sir!

[@abubbleoff1742]

Take care of our people first!

[@milkyyoi1843]

There should be plans for the citizens homeless people and veterans

[@jaymate30]

If you chose to come to another country, illegally, that’s on you. You came here illegally, no money, no plan but we’re supposed to take care of you. Wtf. I’m so sick of this crap

[@vickieadams6648]

He's become one of those people whose face I don't like, because I know what kind of a human being he is and what his motives are (malevolent).

[@MediaSoundBites]

Deep inside I’m glad I voted for Willie Wilson

[@JD198276]

How could these people run a city/state and their main concern is Illegals being on the streets? But yet their own homeless is already on the streets, and they are not doing a damn thing about it, but now they cured illegal homeless crisis?! Let that sink in...

[@j.m.edwards1183]

I am so glad I no longer live in Chicago. I would stay angry at how these so call citizens representatives are standing up for everyone except the citizens. Please make him another one term mayor!

[@ld4687]

The governor and mayor should be held accountable to explain and pay for the millions wasted on that site.knowing it was toxic. They need to be removed from the office immediately for squandering millions of dollars on this fiasco.

[@SinkFla]

it never fails that Mayor Brandon Johnson bs’s his way through every interview, repeating the same thing over﹠over again just rephrasing it. Even one touch question﹠he’s done for, and the journalist’s can’t get a word in edgewise or in this case, even finish the question. I feel bad for myself living in Florida under these circumstances but even worse for Chicagoans going through this mess. It is exactly expected that this Chicago Mayor would try point to hiring a private contractor GardaWorld to shift to them and avoid and avoid hard questions.
