As Twitchy reported earlier this week, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who's enjoying a 7 percent approval rating, went full-blown racist when explaining the city's hiring practices. "The reason I hire so many blacks to run Chicago," he said, "is because we're planet earth's most generous race." The mayor certainly has been generous in distributing the taxpayers' money to illegals.
Johnson's comments obviously caught the attention of the White House, and the Justice Department is probing his hiring practices. He defended them on Thursday, saying that President Donald Trump is "a monster" who's having tantrums that Johnson has an administration that reflects the city of Chicago, not the country club.

Most diverse?

Didn’t he just get done saying he only hired black people?
He is aware that race-based hiring decisions are illegal, yes?

Mayor Johnson should focus on accountability, not deflect blame. Equal laws apply to everyone, regardless of race.

How dare you investigate my racism! 😂

No, you see, Trump is the racist. That's why he's acting out — he feels threatened by Chicago's diversity.
Look, after Lori, ya’ll voted this guy in.

I can’t shrug harder.
Most diverse administration and it is failing miserably.

6.6% approval rating. Lowest in history.

This song and dance is nothing new. It’s not slowing Trump down anymore and they don’t know what to do.

He's spent the last half-decade discriminating against innocent White people to claim 'justice" for the supposed 'crimes' committed by their ancestors ... and he has the gall to call Trump a monster?

Really?
What a criminal clown. Can’t wait to see how he looks in orange.

Blaming others for your own racism is quite the bad take.

Chicago has the most diverse administration in history, and probably the worst administration in history. But at least it's "diverse."
