Chicago mayor speaks after Lil Durk charged in murder-for-hire plot

In light of charges against Lil Durk, Mayor Brandon Johnson was asked specifically about plans for a campaign donation he received from the Chicago-based rapper.

Durk donated 150k to his campaign he ain't gonna denounce him in an interview

[raylewis]

That mayor handled that question very professional...

[thehouseofnaztrodamus]

3 minutes and reporter couldn't figure out he was not going to get a yes/no answer.😅

Homie say "I spent that 150k"

[Kanan]

I wish these Black mayors would stop trying to be down with the culture and actually make some changes in the community

[henritognia]

Embarrassing. How in the world can you give the keys of the city considering only the content of the music which is speaking more volume than your good deeds

[cyoohoos]

It’s amazing what a campaign donation can do

[kahlilholland]

Let me help you mayor. "Lil Durk is a young man who grew up in trauma in the South Side of Chicago and is seeking to change his life. We accepted a donation from him, and will keep the donation until we know if he is innocent or guilty. If he is found guilty, my office will not be associated with anyone convicted of the crimes that he is charged with, and the funds will be returned. Youre welcome.

Love how he’s not letting the interview make him fold 💪🏾💯

[ckhid]

It's not his fault what Durk did. Can't blame somebody for trying to use the infuence of somebody as big as Durk for something positive. A black man can't be responsible for every other Black man.

Make him sound like a victim when hes murdering people

[MagnetLove]

You can't blame your Past & Trauma for all the negative choices you make.Taking accountability is important!!Healing your trauma is a must !!SMH This mayor sounds slow !!

[ishalee]

Well done Mr. Mayor. Don't fold under pressure 💯

[CalvinJCandie]

How disgusting the way he dodges the question. What a corrupt city.

[Youngkaibands]

wow the mayors words are so extraordinary. Even the reporter is shocked and he can't even respond no more.✨💯

[GC]

[propblastnd]

[DerekBrown-er]

[MIK]

[lolsquad]

Stop the BS dude!! They knowingly killed people and bragged abt it in music. He had the oppurtunity to change his life and continued to pay for hits on people. They need to go to jail!! We are tired of burying our kids. This dude needs to be voted tf out of office for these stupid remarks. Smh
