People of Chicago love this man keep voting them in and paying high taxes.

[techi]

14:04 Didn't answer one damn question.

Reminds me of the kid that impersonated a doctor

Lied about the numbers on violent crime, the Bears stadium and other things. Bro you were born and raised in the suburbs and live in the best part of Austin with police 24hr guard...

One term mayor coming right up! But his voters are destined to repeat the same nonsense over and over again expecting different results!

[thefucrew]

Proving, constantly, that you-the citizens, are lower than last on his mind.

[Kindbutfirm]

We’ve reached the point where social media needs to label anything this man says is accompanied with a misinformation warning.

[tvviewer]

Dude you don’t need to wear makeup dude. Grow up

[TheladyD]

CHICAGO IS DONE, FINISHED, COMPLETED. TAKE THAT CITY OFF THE MAY.

@BRANDON JOHNSON, CAN YOU share whatever the fuck it is you are smoking? I need it!

[stinkystu]

Only a progressive could think that selecting people based on arbitrary things is good for anyone.

[Liberty]

YOU NEED A NEW MAYOR AND OTHER STATE REPS

[gaildudlicek]

Mayor Johnson, why don’t you come to Arizona and see EXACTLY what is happening at the border? What your city is experiencing is but a fraction of the border towns have to deal with every day.

Compared to the trump interviews this is so calm one can fall asleep. Where is that aggressive interviewing technique of non-stop constantly attacking and cutting the person off when they try to respond?

[ethan]

Dude is highly medicated. Nothing behind his eyes.

[AM]

This “community organizer” couldn’t even organize enough funds to pay his water bill!
Yet, we allow him to run the City of Chicago!!

[landit]

The smile & lip bite at the end of each statement is cringe!

[ironaddicted]

Question asked then his answer is typical 🤮💩

[ironaddicted]

Resign if this guy serves for another 23 years this city wont make past this decade

[LacreishaMitchell]

David mcjordan got my kids he’s trying to judge Johnson to give me a warrant I need a way out

[cheefkeef]

Nice Islamic flag there bud. Have fun being second class citizens
