Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed “right-wing extremism” for some of the ills facing his crime-ridden city.
Johnson issued his statement about the “far right” during a press conference on Tuesday.
“What we’ve seen is a very raggedy form of right-wing extremism”‘ the mayor said. “Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted democratically run cities, and quite frankly, they have been quite intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color.”
The mayor even said that such “right-wing extremists” aim to create “division and chaos because that is what that particular political party has been about.”
“It is the same party that wouldn’t accept that President Obama was actually an American. It’s the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the capital, it’s the same right-wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the civil war. It’s raggedy. It’s disrespectful. It’s mean-spirited,” he said.
“It is abysmal and it is an affront to everything that is good about this country for the extremism in this country to use people as political tools to settle political scores for something that happened over 400 years ago. They’re still mad that a black man is free in this country,” he added.
JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson lashes out and blames "right wing extremists" for Chicago's problems and says Republicans are mad that black people are free.

Right-wing extremists were not the only scapegoats employed during the mayor’s press conference. According to the Daily Mail, Johnson also blamed his predecessor, Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot, claiming that he inherited her mess.
Johnson also bashed “right-wing extremists” this past October, saying they had been captured by an “unclean spirit.”
“The real disconnect is that you have an unclean spirit that has captured the right-wing extremists in this country. And I call on them to dig deeper and lean on their faith. As Jesus said, who our neighbors really are: the one on the roadside. Those are our neighbors,” Johnson said.

Wow. Not only am I infected by evil spirits, I am responsible for every single ill in the world.
There is no point in trying to argue with folks like Hizzoner the Mayor. Or even other Leftists. Like toddlers, they don’t understand the concept of personal responsibility and still indulge in magical thinking. The real problem is that they never grow out of that stage of maturation, they are always three years old.
this dude is another racist black-blame everybody else for your failures in life
