This is absolutely unreal. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just gave a press conference to address the deadly shootings that took place in his city over Labor Day weekend. Instead of swallowing his pride and recognizing that yes, this is a glaring problem that needs to be immediately solved for the sake of everyone who lives in Chicago, Mayor Johnson deflected the blame onto President Trump.

Johnson claimed that the gun violence in his city was Trump’s fault, as he talked about guns as if they were sentient beings. “The vast majority of guns do not come from Chicago… For every gun that the Chicago PD fights to get off the streets, two or three more new guns come into our city.” No wonder this guy takes the prize for America’s most hated mayor… WTF? Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declares “SH00TINGS WILL CONTINUE,” as he FIGHTS President Trump’s National Guard deployment Democrats LOVE vioIent crime. No wonder Johnson’s approval rating is just 7% pic.twitter.com/RDWrUuScmo — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) September 2, 2025 Over Labor Day weekend, nearly 60 people were shot and 8 people killed in Chicago. Yet, the mayor refuses to take any action to curb the rampant violence. The New York Post reported: Chicago’s Labor Day weekend bloodbath left eight people dead and scores wounded — while left-wing Mayor Brandon Johnson continued to rail against President Trump’s proposed National Guard deployment to tackle the city’s crime. At least 58 people were shot across the city, with gunfire erupting in at least 32 different shootings throughout the holiday weekend, WLS reported. One neighborhood saw two mass shootings within 48 hours — with seven people being injured in a drive-by shooting Saturday night and five more being wounded blocks away Monday. A 17-year-old was critically hurt in the Monday shooting, but is expected to survive. Despite the violence, Johnson doubled down on his resistance to federal troops being dispatched to address the city’s crime in a fiery Labor Day speech. “No federal troops in the city of Chicago. No militarized force in the city of Chicago,” Johnson declared Monday. “We’re going to defend our democracy in the city of Chicago,” he added, according to the Chicago Tribune. “We’re going to protect the humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago.” Similarly, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has told citizens of Chicago to just accept being shot at everyday as a fact of life… It’s just how it is, sorry! Can’t do a thing about it… Watch: JUST IN: Illinois Gov. Pritzker assures his residents crime is just a fact of life and they must deal with it. pic.twitter.com/FTHmsfjYtt REPORTER: You’re hearing people say 54 SH0T, 7 dead, they’re gonna say, Chicago’s not safe.

Today, during his Oval Office press conference, President Trump doubled down on his vow to do what Chicago’s Democrat leadership won’t and send in federal help to stop the insane amounts of crime and violence on the streets.
