Chicago’s newest far-left
leader, Mayor Brandon Johnson, recently implied President Richard
Nixon was to blame for the Windy
City’s massive and pervasive gun violence problem. Well, Democrats specialize
in blaming others for the very problems their policies create. In fact, (titular)
President Joe Biden blames former President Trump for virtually everything.
But Nixon? He passed away more than 30 years ago!
The
Mayor’s preposterous statement was spawned in part by the more than 100 people who
were killed or wounded in shootings in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend
alone.
Johnson stated: "Black death
has been unfortunately accepted in this country for a very long time. We had a
chance 60 years ago to get at the root causes. And people mocked President
Johnson, and we ended up with Richard Nixon. I'm going to work hard every day
to transform this city. That's what it takes to build a better, stronger, safer
Chicago." Now tell us the one about the three bears.
If Black death is accepted by
anyone in this country, it is by the (mostly Black) perpetrators…and the
Democratic Party. Note to B.J.: Johnson was a racist, Nixon was not. Nor did he
have anything to do with the number of homicides in Chicago. The mayor’s vague
statement about what it takes to “build a better, stronger, safer Chicago” sounds
much like Biden’s “Build Back Better” trope. How is that slogan working
out for us?
The only way to significantly
reduce the murder rate in Chicago, whether by firearm, knife, baseball bat, or candlestick,
is to institute policies that will help foster intact families and a greater
chance for a successful and fulfilling life.
Blaming Richard Nixon, who was
never an Illinois pol and hasn’t been president for half a century, is
delusional in the extreme. But then, being delusional is a hallmark of today’s
Democrats.
What’s next, will Detroit’s mayor
blame his city’s crime on Dwight Eisenhower? Will California Gov. Gavin Newsome
blame his state’s homeless crisis on Herbert Hoover? It’s rampant crime on
Calvin Coolidge? Perhaps Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker will blame the population
exodus afflicting his state on Warren
G. Harding or William Howard Taft. Chester A. Arthur? Surely other lefties will
join in the blame game, too. The way things are going today, the more unhinged
the better, right? I can see New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez blaming his legal
troubles on William McKinley. Or Whoopi Goldberg blaming a yeast infection on Rutherford
B. Hayes.
I’m sure readers can come up with
more possibilities.
After all, nothing is too crazy
anymore.
