We're starting to understand why Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has a 7% approval rating. While mobs of wild teens harass Chicago businesses and crime is out of control, he's got his elbow on the pulse of what his city needs: the removal of Columbus statues from city parks.

Given the violent crime in the Windy City, no one's in the parks to see or be offended by the Columbus statues.
But at least he can say he did something as mayor besides burning his city to the ground.
He doesn’t have bigger things to worry about?

Apparently not.
Perfect. When can we see the first monument to Saint George Floyd and the renaming of Daley College after Angela Davis? The city apparently needs to experience total cultural and fiscal collapse before it can be reborn.

That's what's gonna happen.
A racist assault on Italian-American identity.

Yep.
How is he allowed to just run a city into the ground like this.

Like who TF keeps voting these virtue signaling scammers in office.
They run up the debt and fill their pockets and serve platitudes to the actual communities in need.
Lots of people voted for him because he had a (D) after his name.
That's the extent of the thought that went into it.
With everything going on, yeah that should be first and foremost on his mind. Geezus.

This is easier than addressing crime.
And, in Brandon's mind, less racist.
Laser focused. https://t.co/R0gRA6ukbg

Yep. Laser focused.
Great idea! It's probably those Columbus statues that are causing all the crime and blight in Chicago. https://t.co/vTwnrp8FSJ

Peace will come to Chi-Town as soon as they get rid of those evil, racist statues.
Not.
Why does he hate European peoples so much? https://t.co/oN2vTb9sHB
— Rod Dreher (@roddreher) May 8, 2025
Because they're white, and therefore inherently racist.
That's what the Left taught Brandon, and he wholeheartedly believes it.
Some of the most violent riots that occurred between 2017 and 2020 were massive, coordinated, leftist assaults on police protecting these statues.

Because no one has the spine to hold them accountable and make them face consequences.
That which is rewarded gets repeated.
