This again? Economically illiterate Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, whose city is roughly $77 billion in debt, is claiming wealth is being transferred from the poor to the rich. He says President Donald Trump is to blame, and he’s ignoring the descendants of slaves, too. You can guess Johnson's 'solution.'
Here’s more. (WATCH)
Brandon Johnson says Trump has made the rich richer, ignoring demands of "descendants of the formerly enslaved."
"This is the president who just released the largest upward transfer of wealth into the hands of the ultra-rich at the expense of the demands of those of us who are descendants of the formerly enslaved."
"The largest upward transfer of wealth at the expense of education, housing, health care, transportation, good-paying jobs, which literally were all the demands of the formerly enslaved."
This is reparations rhetoric, even though he didn't use the word. That's what he's mad about.
Johnson is on his reparations kick again. He won't tell his constituents that there's no need for government involvement. Nothing is stopping members of his Democrat Party from personally cutting checks to the descendants of all the slaves they fought to keep enslaved. We both know that’s never going to happen. (WATCH)

Hey, that’s former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on the right. We didn’t know she was in that movie!
Posters say reparations are a grift. It’s also a wedge driven between Americans who never participated in slavery or were personally slaves. Johnson will never stop pushing this no matter which Republican is in the White House.
That moldy rhetoric has never helped anyone, other than the race-peddlers farting it out.

Brandon Johnson is interested in only one thing: his own megalomania.
I wonder if Brandon Johnson will keep playing this same old song and tune in a few years when Rubio or Vance is our new elected leader. 🧐

Brandon Johnson and his brain dead ambience is likely one of the reasons da Bears got the hell outta dodge and out of Shtcago.
They say the same 15 different things every single time a Republican is in the White House and they cycle through them on repeat for 4-8 years. It never ends with these clowns.

Same old, same old from Democrats who have no solutions to help their constituents, other than Trump is bad!

Democrats like Johnson have to keep dangling that 'reparations' carrot to dupe black Americans into voting for them by thinking free money is on the horizon. The party keeps stringing along gullible voters while never doing anything of substance that genuinely benefits their constituents.
