Chicago Mayor Johnson Plays Race Card on Trump

Remembering the Rodney King riots, BLM, Antifa, and many grim-faced leftists in Congress including Ayanna Pressley, Maxine Waters, Al Green, Al Sharpton, Joy Reid, Jasmine Crockett and others in their same mold gives racial agitators the perfect audience for their invective.  TD

 "You've got a mayor who literally should be in jail right now for taking away protection from the federal officers," Giuliani told NEWSMAX's "Rob Schmitt Tonight."

Chicago Mayor Johnson Plays Race Card on Trump  "Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, fired back at President Donald Trump's call to arrest him for obstruction of justice, playing the race card on the color of his skin instead of the content of his anti-law enforcement position.

"This is not the first time Trump has tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested," Johnson wrote Wednesday morning on X. "I'm not going anywhere."

"His X post came after Trump said that the anti-Trump and anti-ICE leaders of Illinois and Chicago should face legal accountability for obstructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement justice on the crime-ridden streets.

" 'Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!" Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Wednesday morning. "Governor Pritzker also!"

"With Trump seeking to use National Guard troops from multiple states to secure and provide safety for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Democrat-run cities, Johnson and Gov. JB Pritzker may be amplifying tensions.

"Johnson has called for ICE-free zones in the city of Chicago." . . .

Pritzker 'Will Not Back Down,’ Johnson Plays Race Card After Blocking ICE

For his part, Mayor Johnson threw the race card at Trump.

“This is not the first time Trump has tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested,” Johnson said. “I’m not going anywhere.” . . .

 "Mayor" Brandon Johnson says the quiet part out loud: "Civil War."  . . ."Trump has never said those words. Never. He is simply enforcing the law as ordered by Article IV Sect. 4, "shall protect each of [the States] against invasion." . . . “The right wing in this country wants a rematch of the Civil War.”   Considering that the “right wing,” which fought to abolish slavery, won the Civil War, why in the world would we want a rematch?"

It might surprise Pritzker, Johnson, and other blue state officials in the U.S. to find that the vast majority of Americans support the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.   . . . "On Monday afternoon, CNN anchor Boris Sanchez seemed to forget he was speaking with one of the Trump administration’s most unflinching figures and attempted to press a familiar Democratic talking point. He was swiftly and decisively swatted down by the inimitable White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

"Sanchez asks what “if a Democratic president someday calls the National Guard to a red state over what they see as open rebellion, but is what amounts to a demonstration that gets rowdy?”

"Miller chuckles before unleashing a punishing, but well-deserved rebuttal on the hapless journalist.

They’re [demonstrators] posting pictures of their [federal agent’s] kids because it’s a ‘demonstration?’ They have a sniper on top of a building firing a high caliber rifle at an ICE facility because it’s a ‘demonstration?’ And they are engaged with vehicle ramming attacks because its a ‘demonstration?’

"Sanchez chimes in, “But National Guard isn’t being sent to Dallas, Texas, where that sniper was.”

"Miller replied: "Wow, you walked right into that one. Because the Dallas police department and the governor of Texas have RESPONDED to EVERY call for assistance and help." . . .
