Mayor Brandon Johnson Celebrates Africa Day (and Ignores Memorial Day) – Twitchy

Today is Memorial Day, when we honor the men and women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice.

But it appears Chicago’s commie mayor, Brandon Johnson, has decided Memorial Day isn’t worth his time. Instead, he’s wishing us all a ‘happy Africa Day’ instead.

Seriously?

No wonder this guy’s approval rating is 7%.

Someone is going to insert clips of “contributions” made and it’s going to be fantastic.

Probably.

This dude is a full blown communist radical.

Chicago is doomed.

Yes it is.

Seriously?!!!

Seriously.

Chicago went from a bad mayor to an even worse one.

Today, Memorial Day, a sacred day to honor those who sacrificed all they had for us, this absolute FOOL comes out with this sycophantic asininity?

Fck him, all the way off.

It’s a slap in the face to veterans and their families.

Especially Gold Star families.

Never forget – he’s an actual communist. Not covert about it.

Not covert at all.

It’s so interesting how people hate America, celebrate other nations. But don’t want to live in other nations, they want to live in America. Interesting https://t.co/qILXgcxNks

He makes Lori Lightfoot look competent.

He never stops. Chicago elected the dumbest, most incompetent and divisive big city politician in America. https://t.co/F2HhksWbso

It’s almost impressive, no?

A lot of people voted for this guy. https://t.co/Z8RjLfIIZp

That’s the sad part in all of this.

Johnson apparently attended a Memorial Day wreath ceremony, but hasn’t issued a statement or remarks for Memorial Day. Because priorities.
