Brandon Johnson's Slavery Word Salad: Chicago Mayor Rewrites History Books

Chicago’s woke mayor Brandon Johnson just proved he’d rather rewrite textbooks than fix the city he’s running into the ground. At a press conference with union leaders, Johnson went off on a bizarre tangent about Chicago being “built by slaves.” The problem? It’s flat-out false. Chicago wasn’t even founded until 1837—long after most Northern states had already outlawed slavery. The city’s rise came from European immigrants and free workers, not enslaved people. But facts don’t matter when you’re pushing the victimhood narrative.

Instead of talking about the city’s exploding crime, failing schools, or border chaos, Johnson delivered another word salad of woke talking points. His teachers union buddy joined in, blaming Chicago’s problems on “billionaire tyranny” and immigrants. Meanwhile, regular Chicagoans are dealing with shootings, carjackings, and a massive budget hole. Businesses are fleeing, families are scared, and the mayor is babbling about slavery like it’s still 1820.

Critics shredded his comments online, calling them “embarrassing” and “race-baiting garbage.” Voters don’t want history lectures from someone who clearly skipped class—they want solutions. But Johnson would rather play activist than mayor, all while his city burns.

Far From Woke verdict: Brandon, you’re not a historian. You’re a failed mayor hiding behind fake history. Stick to running Chicago—if you can.
