Brandon Johnson Chicago Mayor
Lose a mayor, win a mayor. In a related story, yesterday the Chicago Tribune ran an article headlined, “
Justice Department investigating Mayor Brandon Johnson for alleged racially motivated hiring.”
Yesterday, Chicago’s Marxist Mayor Brandon “Let’s Go” Johnson received a letter from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon saying there is “reasonable cause” to believe the mayor “made hiring decisions solely on the basis of race,” potentially violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In March, Brandon told reporters, “It’s not enough to win the power, you have to protect the power.” Thus, Brandon boasted, “the first thing I did for our people was make sure that I put key black people in positions of power to protect it.”
In a podcast interview two days ago, Brandon bragged even more about how many black people he’d hired into the Mayor’s office. In yesterday’s letter, AAG Dhillon shot back, “Considering these remarks, I have authorized an investigation to determine whether the city of Chicago is engaged in a pattern of practice of discrimination as set forth above,” promising to check into both high-ranking and lower-level jobs.
On Sunday, Brandon gloated that his staff was now 45% Black, 25% Brown, 8% Asian and 30% (lower case) white. After seeing the letter yesterday, his office issued
corrected figures: 34% Black, 24% Hispanic, 30% white and 7% Asian.
Were you lying then, Brandon, or are you lying now?
