LIVE: Chicago Mayor Johnson holds media availability

This guy is really sad and dilusional. I'm sure he never went outside if hes really from the westside of chicago.

There's a "small" gathering at the Mayor's Mansion this weekend... EVERYONE'S invited! ❤️🙏

Chicago is a good example of how not to vote. Do everything opposite and you’ll be fine.

[@TheladyD514]

Sorry Brandon Brown. Chicago is a dangerous place to live. I don't care how you sugar coat and cover up reality by eloquently speaking to those reporters. The Democratic parties are vultures that help tore down this city. I'm going to call it like I see it. Those are not teenagers. They are wild untamed animals that are completely out of control..let's bring in more immigrants while the homeless people are sleeping under viaducts. SMH

[@g.davidtenenbaum8563]

Young scholars, public gatherings? Nothing like hiding behind language, This mayor does the same word salad as the Vice President sans the cackle laughter and annoying head shaking. He never answers the questions, goes off on tangents, and says little if anything of substance. And did I miss it or did he reference the destruction of the 7 11 last week and how this will not be tolerated in the future? If you liked Mayor Lightfoot's tenure you are going to love this guy.

[@jimsullivanyoutube]

This is a smart guy with a great demeanor. He handled the press really well! Time will tell if his approach works. But I'm not going anywhere near Chicago if I can help it. BTW "Mob" is a noun that means a large and disorderly crowd of people who are angry, violent, or difficult to control. The reporter was accurate and not derogatory. But the mayor was very dishonest when he obfuscated the reporter's question by using a different definition of the word "mob" while stating "not to obfuscate the issue" -- which is exactly what he was doing. That's f'ing Orwellian. I find him and his ilk dishonest, bigoted, and scary. There is bias and a hidden agenda here hidden behind niceties. I suspect that Soros, and the Demoncrats and company are fomenting a color revolution. Divide and conquer. He also praised Beyonce for saying "hello Brandon" at her concert -- giving support to a thoroughly corrupt criminal. And he's also trying to attract major companies to Chicago. Who would want to go there?
