Who is he to talk to you like that. He works for you, you are not subjugated to him.
All these liberal politicians especially the school teachers they like to look down their nose upon everybody else
She is boring him and boring us as well!!
I think he thinks he’s the Mayor.
Black culture is so rich and vibrant. 😂
You don't understand Chicago politics. Think Richard J. Daley.
Brandon Johnson is incompetent, and is tyrannical in the pursuit of that incompetence.
@easter_sunday did you notice that temper flaring up, that hood mentality was rising , just a few more pokes and that Mohawk was go be burning inferno, lol
You just like the complain he is just not allowing you guys to walk over him. Give him a break
@@HarveyDodby-rr7wt truth hurts?
@@HarveyDodby-rr7wt look you can join him I don't give a dam about you or him. You must be his kinfolk
@@HarveyDodby-rr7wt there is no excuse for this much incompetence when there are no white men to scapegoat in this scenario.
This guy has lost his mind.. We have to get rid of this guy.
His basic answer to everything is racism, smh
* exposing the existing racism, you mean
Blacks don’t even like him… nope
@@achildsheart4658 look who’s playing identity politics now. Sit down and be quiet lol
Chicago voters wanted another black man another black race hustler so what do you think he supposed to do? He ain’t qualified to run the city well answer any real questions 🤣🤣🤣
Smhhh I don’t think you are listening….
He was scared..The reason he brought his own cheering section. This guy couldnt lead his household not paying his water bill. What a joke.
Calling someone a joke is what shows you have no real arguments. Grow up. That would do this country and city good.
@@knowingquality you should your name to knowing nothing because that's exactly what you know
@@yesyesyes4645 noted. great talk yes, wish you well.
@@knowingquality He is going to bankrupt Chicago just watch...
@@knowingquality "grow up" by acting like a timid child and just give up on holding him accountable because he whined about racism, as he burns the city to the ground with his 80IQ policy and blatant corruption. absolute cu ck take
THIS WHOLE THING IS ABOUT THE TEACHERS GETTING FRING BENEFITS, not about the students. Wake up. This a tyrant, If he looks like a tyrant, and talks like one, Its a Tyrant.
YOU GOTTA LISTEN. Ya man he’s not saying shit. Answering questions with questions.
Like Kamala!
He already answered that is the excuse. But gotta listen.
Do you even understand what the question was.
@@JeffBarker-q2flike Trump?
He’s saying what I want to hear. Maybe not you . Chicago born and raised here and decades worth of taxes paid by me. Go Brandon
28% turnout in the Mayoral runoff, this is what happens. 😔
You gave $71 million to house migrants in your city
Wants slaves!
Very sad that he did
What is starting pay to be the cheerleader for the mayor??
Yes, they are definitely collecting their Kibbles and Bits to cheer him on
Less than a cheerleader for trump.
Idk but he’s trying to increase it 9%
@@Imissyouloublablablabla…….
He’s a joke of a mayor! Such an embarrassment.
He is going to have to leave Chicago once his term is up. He is one of the worst sell-out ninjas in Foundational Black American history.
Absolutely! He is probably worse than raggedy Lightfoot.
Chicago needs to get this man out and find a way to not only sue him but demand an investigation into him
😂 thinly veiled racism
BIGOT AND RACIST
Investigate him !
I got a feeling it's coming...he's going down just like the mayor in New York City
@@lemule2744Pfft riiiight 🙄
"What are you willing to do to ALL children in the city of Chicago, NOT just black children?"
Nothing it's all about the blak klilrans
I guess he forgets there are lower income Whites, Latino children as well
Our children Cant even walk the streets safely
And it’s the mayors fault? 😂 also your comment is not true.
Guess in your neighborhood nobody's getting shot and alllllll those people living in the communities getting killed and robbed are liars 😂@@lemule2744
@@edzzz5043 he’s been in office for 18 months and he’s inherited a generational state of economic segregation against the poor of the city, and you expect him to have solved it already?
If your children can’t walk the street safely, knock that servile attitude off your faces and organize your neighbors. The city is not the only one with agency. Just don’t assume every black or brown face is a threat.
@@forcelightningcable9639 he gave all the money to the people he cares about. I'm not playing identity politics.
@@eliteshaw who?
CTU has failed the city of Chicago .
You better listen 70 times so far 😂
The man that was raised in Elgin is trying to sell and sound like he struggled in Chicago 🤣he didn’t go to
high school here?, what a liar! He didn’t even do his undergrad or teaching program in Chicago, he went to Aurora University! Chicago is too big of a town for him to handle, he should’ve stuck with Mayor of Elgin. Mr West Side of Fox River not West Side of Chicago
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's delusional and high on power
The only reason why he won is because Paul Vallas was too extreme when it came to some of the policies he wanted to implement. That is why Johnson won. If Vallas was more centered, he would have won easily over Johnson.
@@ThePumpin1 If, is a crooked word that can't be bent. Vallas, was a failure in Chicago and Louisana.
This is what happens when people don't get off of their asses to vote. Elections have consequences.🤡
Lots of puppets on stage
I really hate the way he uses race. He is undoubtedly damaging to "Black Politics" and makes an absolute mockery of legitimate struggles of his constituents. He dishonors his race, his community, his city, his office by selecting yes-people and showing this obstinate, ignorant, self-agrandizing BS to anyone who questions him.
He loves to talk about what the voters want from him, but is too high on his on stuff to hear us. You aren't helping CPS or this city by supporting use high interest loans to close budget deficits.
If you (or your team) ever read these comments, know this:
You are embarrassing us, ALL of us. I've watched you, I used to think you were just really incompetent--there is no question that you were/are unprepared to be Mayor. My disappointment is that you're getting worse, not better. Have you realized that you've lost the people's confidence and resorted to doing whatever you want?
Long winded crying. Race actually matters. Why act as if it doesn’t 🤔
100% correct, I need not add more.
@@lemule2744 race does not matter. his job performance matters and he is doing horrible as mayor and hiding behind his race as a shield for all of the legitimate criticism he is getting. he is a joke and needs to be removed from office. no one is falling for his identity politics bs anymore. this isnt 2015
Mayor Johnson is defending himself in the comments too 😅😅😅
😅
The male Tiffany Henyard
LOL
He's more Sassy 😂😂😂
Thats exactly what I was thinking.
🤣
I’m really impressed that he can spew bullshit for 45 minutes
LMAO TH-cam FLAGGED THIS FOR HARASSMENT AND BULLYING
Word salad expert
I get flagged almost everyday. To me book of Revelations is in action.
@@stlrecon2475 I literally believe the same thing. We are in the midst of it.
Ya he only cares about his black wife and his black kids. You heard that CHICAGO.
Hmmm. I wonder if the first Mayor Daley only cared about his white wife and his white kids.
Reminds me of Eric Cartman “respect mah authoritah”
I'm not a fan of Johnson, either, but dude IS articulate. Your post is b.s.
@@cwharris773I agree we don’t get on here and say “Cletus I wreckon my sister wife is happy 😂”

This dude is out of his mind
th-cam.com/video/vCadcBR95oU/w-d-xo.html
Can we get him out of office NOW!!! Corrupt corrupt corrupt
Why does he need a cheerleader team in his background to cheerl him on for bullshit statements.
Don't all officials have people in the background? Trump comes to mind.
Right!
@@joyceshaw7990not chiming in like it’s a church sermon silly, any other feeble attempts at defending the indefensible?!
I would like to say, as a citizen of Chicago, this dude is a clown. Definitely a one term mayor people fuck everything up in one term. Do I feel sorry for the people of Chicago no. This man told you what he was going to do and he did it. Close Daryl, South Shore, high school because of lack of funds. Try to reopen it for a housing camp for migrants. The city is in almost $1 billion deficit. This year like $700 million dollars, which is due to illegal residence, or asylum seekers. Crime is up in Chicago. Do you think he gives a damn? At this point I believe he knows, so he is out for his money grab before he leaves office. 🤡
He needs more tax payer money to fix the idiots in his city. It’s never enough. If the schools have low scores. Give that school more money.
That’s the goal of socialism
@@pitbossea 👍 simplifying the stupidity.
@salty28 to be factual the main reason for starting the Illinois lottery was to fund the chicago schools in addition HE IS LOSER, I DETEST HIM MORE AND MORE EVERY TIME I SEE HIS FACE, DID YOU NOTICE THAT TEMPER, IMAGINE BECONNECTEX WITH THAT LUNATIC, ( how is THIS for a summation YOU-TUBE) you tube sent me a message said my prior language could subject my channel being stricken, I said I don't have a channel and as long as it does not affect my social security check, strike whatever you want TH-cam.
And to take trips to London like he’s gonna do after that press conference when you get the money to go to London dude was a freaking schoolteacher before he was mayor all that’s why taxpayer dollars
This man is straight up evil.
How?
@@lemule2744 they have him mixed up with trump
@@esthersommerville610 Hell Trump doesn't do that 'BS", and you like what's going on in this country and Chicago NOW?! You must be crazy..
@@esthersommerville610 He's about to bankrupt Chicago with bad financial practices and he's hiding his evil with racism. If you question him you're racist.

Man I haven't hated someone this much in a long time. Cult of personality in its purest form.
HE WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS FOOL. Acting like he is king. Fn runt.
Is the guy in the background nonstop yelling “YOU BETTA LISTEN” one of the new board members??😂😂please lord tell me it’s not
This guy is just corrupt
Inept
My favorite wah to recognize democracy is by forcing out elected officials and appointing my own.
President does it
@@LiberianGirl21197 I'm not fan of Biden, but can you give an example? The presidency isn't awarded powers like this aside from normal purely political appointed offices that are never voted on. Think heads of three letter entities.
They were not elected, they were appointed. He has the right to appoint and dismiss until the election of board members.
@@joyceshaw7990 2 of them were still the original group and were elected o believe, and having the right to do something doesn't mean it should be used to force through cronyism. He is unquestionably abusing his power to get what his friends want at the cost of every person that lives in the city. There is no defending his actions. There's a reason everyone from the governor to the 3 former mayors including the mayor of the city he last worked are speaking out against it as an abuse of power. You voted for a man who flirts with fascism, we don't need your cope.
He is racist
How 😂.
where is your proof
As most of the previous mayors.
@esthersommerville610 only saying that because there are more affected groups attending public schools.
@@esthersommerville610 the words coming form his mouth are proof. Are you drinking?
This is man is a spin artist. Not to say race shouldn't be involved but making it solely about that...he looks like a buffoon
it really makes Black politicians look like they are not fit for such positions bc the go to excuse gor EVERYTHING is racism...he won by a very narrow margin, but he still won, if racism towards him was as bad as he is claiming, he wouldnt have been elected Mayor!
People are so frustrated with Mayor, this man is educated way beyond his own intelligence.
Educated??!?
@@mystcrich Race-baiting does not mean you are intelligent. When you take a public position, you have to take the heat from the press.
Why would going to london to attract business??? how the fuck does that even work???
Officials have always gone out of the city, state, country to attract business. Chicago is a world class city for a reason.
If you ask that means you’re racist for noticing the corruption.
He acts like a Dictator.
mixed up with Trump
Former mayors that were dictators: Rahm Emmanuel and Daley Sr and Daley Jr were dictators! Now what say you??? Dictate what, he's been in office for only two years!!! You're a bigot and racist!
@@esthersommerville610 Yeah isn't Johnson the one that gets 25000 dollar haircuts on taxpayer money.
You are just not.use to see a black man who has a backbone you are used to all these house negroes and yes men. Well you are a problem honey he is the leadership we need to see.
@@karlmuckit2968 lovely mohawk.
Johnson needs to held accountable for hand picking his own school board members . If this isn't corruption at it's finest then what is . Stop talking people and clean up the city of this useless politics .
boogers are hand picked by this dirty boy too.
All mayors before him have had the authority to pick the school board. This is nothing new. Soon, voters will be able to elect school board members due to Mayor Johnson advocating for this change.
@@joyceshaw7990there you go again, flapping your lips and talking nonsense.
He is not going to last more than one term. He keeps talking about the state of black and brown people in the city, but wants to advocate 70 million dollars for migrants, rather than using those funds to help the disenfranchised communities. I am all for helping those who come into this country for a better life, but it shouldn't be at the expense of those who have already been here for decades. Why can't both things happen at the same time?
Is this a new trend? Black leaders bringing up and paying for hype men to stand behind them?
Eric adams
Tiffany henyard
Brandon Johnson
Fanni willis. Ect ect ect
MmmmHMMMM I know that’s right, preach!! 😂
I feel like I’m watching an episode of The Boondocks
Sans the humor
Totally lost his mind! He’s not helping the kids. He is holding them hostage so he can get his predatory loan to fund CTU pensions. Sick!
Wow, the arrogance of this guy
it is called confidence
It is called assertive!!
So if a black is confident, then he is arrogant. What about all the corruption before Brandon became mayor. Oh, I guest you just chose to look over that.
@@HarveyDodby-rr7wt When a Black man is assertive and confident, he is considered as arrogant.
@@esthersommerville610 lol his arrogance is confidence in the same way some people think elegance and attitude are the same thing
Every single thing is about race. Martin Luther King talked about a color-blind society. Not with this race-baiter.
We have a goofball in office.
he is clueless.
Tyrant
Never seen someone play the race card so hard in my life.
Talking about “black men” in our community colleges, and every child getting what they deserve is kinda confusing.
Billion dollars in debt? Let’s take out a high interest loan. How can that go bad?
I see a pattern every time he says the " I have the authority" line they appauld.
And he bites his lip thereafter everytime.
I've never seen such gratuitous use of the race card before
Equitable = "Give me money"
I get so fed up with the woke bs term
The only thing this guy knows how to do is deflect accountability, blame others and recklessly spend everyone else's money!
He not even a true west-sider....dude was born and raised in Elgin
This is why we need a City Mgr. Who is qualified, fully verified, that they hold degrees in accounting, economics, and business.
Then, have a ceremonial mayor who is paid by the event.
This man is dysfunctional... 5:48
Who TF does he think he is, telling the media she isn’t allowed to ask public officials a question because it’s “disrespectful” GTFO
Kids failing way behind teachers are highly paid babysittilers. Grades and accountability should match that 100k salary..
They are not getting paid that much … don’t lie . He is a trash mayor and his organization is terrible but don’t lie
He's running this city is the ground
😂 how. Was the city above ground before him? Bot?
@@lemule2744yea I mean property tax was a lot lower for many residents , a lot of companies and stores weren’t leaving the metropolitan areas and public transport was actually efficient , plus we weren’t in a billion dollar deficit and that money has to come out someone’s pockets and it sure as hell ain’t the mayors 💀
@@LePolloMati well if he pays taxes it does come out of his pockets. The issue isn’t one man. The issue is how the system is ran
@@lemule2744 yea that’s true but doesn’t it make it right to take advantage of the system and the mayor is quite definitely doing that , I mean he accepted a pay increase and it’s true that’s it’s coming from his pockets and ours but difference is , he’s making that money back and are the residents getting any of it ? With the pensions and salary he has , Brandon Johnson can always move out this city after his mayoral term ends and move to a state with lower tax , leaving its residents to pay of the debt of whatever bullshit loans he wants to take out and for his travel expenses such as his England trip that’s coming up , I wasn’t even allowed to vote since I was underage and the people who voted for him affected me and my current lifestyle and of many hard working individuals in Chicago , we don’t mind taxes as long long as it goes to the benefit of the city and it’s residents not it’s tyrants
@@LePolloMati you said all that to say it’s the system and not one man. Ok copy
He is power hungry just like the person in the background that is his yes man
And you crying on the keyboard. Levels
Tough to find a Chicago mayor who doesn’t operate like a mafia boss
This person is so full of himself.
communist leader is communist.
Good lord! I am so sick of this guy!
Black church stand behind this corrupt mayor
then why are the students scores so low? wages up, all this spending up and test scores down? Another horrible mayor of Chicago, such a shame, he is just for southside, that's it. It won't work..
Well…. He’s not “just got the south side”
He’s for the damn CTU. And THAT’S a problem. It’s screw the rest of the city.
Guy in back keeps saying “ Better Listen” what a clown show
Yeah I kept hearing that BULLSH!T
When a clown is in charge, everything is a circus.
Dude we don't care what you did as a teacher as a Mayor you are feed those that are in your pockets
That’s what politics is 😂.
@@lemule2744 what are you afraid of ? Get a job
“The people of Chicago voted for a parent” and got what they voted for and asked for.
I didn’t vote for him smh
@@Kp-tz9gp I was just repeating what Mr. Johnson said.
I didn't vote for that idiot!
The real question is why are you all surrendering your rights, liberties and responsibilities of raising you children to a government.
CTU, bought and paid for.
Imagine a city that doesn’t have gangs running wild in the streets while he tries to keep you from protecting yourself. Imagine a police force that has its teeth pulled.
His arrogance is off the roof, & all those cheerleader puppets in the background. Here we are with another Tiffany Heynard at is best. Great job to all those reporters for asking great questions, & I am so sorry that all had to go through this. Is disrespectful & condensing what he is doing to the citizens of Chicago.
Johnson👑🤣 and dictator
The tyrant 😂
Power trip 😅. Power that the CTU paid millions for.
He needs to resign.
We need a “you boutta listen” count. it’s gotta be 40+ 😂
Trump and let vote him out soon
dude pulling the black card at every moment... maybe someone should ask him the question why Chicago never had a native American mayor before?? i mean after all this is their land...
That was stupid and blacks don’t even like him . And blacks built the country you fled too. He is trash and his organization is horrible .
That person in the background should be quite OMG
He is so annoying
You better listen
Quite what?
This man is slow
He was a former middle school! That was his qualification!
Is 14:30 like taking money from other places and spending it on illegal immigrants, or no?
I’m getting New York Mayor Adam’s vibes 😕
More like nutty professor
Dude answer the questions
Look at the army he needs behind him.
@@kate7478 those people are puppets
He did. It was clear but you did not comprehend it.
@@Imissyoulou I guess I don’t understand immigrant
Kate7478, Yup, some of them are indeed puppets, but they are sagging. Their strings need tightening.
I DIDN'T VOTE FOR YOU!!!
johnson = black trump 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brandon Johnson responded to critics by hiring 78 new deputy mayors & saying he's not on the November ballot
It's funny bc he is right about the incremental change and financial issues was BS, but his plan for a high interest short term loan is unwise.
how was he elected no one supports him
The male Tiffany Henyard. Thanks BCP.
He doesn't answer the question
He might be on leave from CTU. Damn sure he will collect that pension. When he is out next year
He is so full of ish not answering any questions and being rude to the reporters they just trying to get the right information because he doesn’t want to tell us anything
He sounds good, but he can’t be trusted
21 school board members with 11 appointees? Goodbye democracy.
You know what Brandon Johnson is good at? Acting!!! Give him an Oscar
