Sounds Extortion-y: Chicago's Socialist Mayor Demands Reparations To 'Reduce Violent Crime'

When Chicago ousted Lori Lightfoot, we all thought perhaps things would get a little better in the Windy City. We were wrong. They elected an actual socialist as mayor and, well, it's going about as badly as you'd expect. Mayor Brandon Johnson proposed a plan literally called 'First We Get The Money' as part of his economic blueprint for the city, and he's still going after that money. This time, reparations are the solution to violent crime in his city.

Socialist Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling for reparations funding for black Chicagoans to reduce violent crime. Johnson may be the dumbest mayor in American history. During an interview with CNN, Johnson said that city funds must be diverted to reparation programs to solve crime. "I’ve added a half a million dollars for restoration and reparations to address the cycle of violence, which looks like school closings, closing of mental health facilities, of which I’ve invested in."

Johnson says he 'added a half a million dollars for restoration and reparations to address the cycle of violence, which looks like school closings, closing of mental health facilities, of which I’ve invested in.' Violence looks like school closings? Someone should tell Randi Weingarten. But we digress. He has made Lori Lightfoot look like a genius. She was a better mayor, and that's saying something, because she set the bar very low. Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson may be in serious trouble. Calling for reparations is what desperate progressives do. This is probably it. As of November -- a mere six months into his term -- Johnson's approval rating is at 28 percent. https://twitchy.com/coucy/2023/11/15/brandon-johnson-chicago-n2389832
