Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson openly urged defiance and unrest, declaring on MSNBC Sunday that his constituents would “rise up” in the streets if President Trump sends the National Guard to clean up crime—remarks that sounded less like a policy stance and more like a call for violence and insurrection against federal authority.
“We’re gonna remain firm, we’ll take legal action, but the people in this city are accustomed to rising up against tyranny. If that’s necessary, I believe that the people of Chicago will stand firm alongside of me as I work every single day to protect the people of this city,” Johnson said.
According to a recent Washington Post article, the Department of Defense has been planning a deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago for several weeks.
In response to President Trump recently calling him “a grossly incompetent mayor,” Johnson stuttered and accused the president of contemplating “the most flagrant violation of our Constitution in the 21st Century.”
He also claimed that Trump is attempting “to conquer cities across America.”
While law-abiding Chicago residents face danger on a daily basis, Democrats and the mainstream media push doctored crime numbers, insisting that violent crime is falling—a narrative that masks the city’s very real, escalating chaos.
After witnessing crime in D.C. dropping dramatically, many citizens in blue cities are welcoming the National Guard to come in an clean up their areas.
