 But Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago wants you to believe that the problem is some long-dead white guy who resigned from office 50 years ago and it has nothing to do with his idiotic leadership or the idiotic leadership of Lori Lightfoot, the prior mayor, or any of the other clowns that have run Chicago in the last 50 years. None of them are the problem. None of the aldermen are the problem. The problem is a long-dead white guy.
