Brandon Johnson Says the Trump Administration Can’t Accept That the North Won the Civil War – Twitchy

We’re beginning to think that when Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson doesn’t have a defense for an argument, he goes straight to the race card. As we reported last month, Johnson challenged a reporter who used the “sci-fi” term illegal alien in a question. When told illegal alien is the legal term, “We’ll listen, the legal term for my people were slaves. Do you want me to use that term too?”

The other day, Johnson was privileged to be a guest on the IHIP podcast with Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, where he argued that the Trump administration and the extreme right in this country have been trying to “re-litigate” the Civil War through their policies, adding that they have not accepted the fact that the Union won.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says the Trump administration is attempting to “re-litigate the Civil War” by cleaning up crime in Democrat cities.

“They have not accepted the results that the North actually won.”

And the two hosts just nod like bobbleheads.

It sure is interesting that liberals have such a strong, negative reaction to stopping crime.

1. Clean up crime-ridden blue cities
2. TBD
3. Reinstate slavery

Still working out Step 2. 🤔

These morons really don’t know that the Democrat Party was the party of the Confederacy.

To a racist, everything is about race 🤔

Which side were the ones who fought against the federal government? Pretty sure those were the bad guys who lost.

The Civil War not only abolished slavery, but it also cemented the supremacy of the federal government over the states, which is why he’s powerless against the National Guard showing up in his city to clean it up.
