Mayor Brandon ‘Bear of Little Brain’ Johnson Is Having a ‘Come at Me Bro’ Meltdown

I suppose while I’m on a pathetic, big, blue city mayor kick this afternoon, I might as well update y’all on the goofiest, least competent, most anxiety-ridden, saddest creature ever to occupy the mayor’s office in Chicago – Brandon Johnson, Bear of Little Brain.

The teachers’ union tool is having a whale of a year, and nothing is slowing down the man down on  his self-paved highway to hell.

We’ve been over all the looming financial ruin and skullduggery that preceded the still percolating teachers’ union pension payment and the payday loan situation.

The fired head of the Chicago Public Schools system, long-suffering Pedro Martinez, is finally leaving after a heroic fight to safeguard the schools. On his way out, he had a few choice words for Hizzoner, starting with how he was asked to resign to facilitate the mayor’s payoff scheme. Something that mayor, bastion of integrity that he is, has denied.

In an exit interview before his last day on Wednesday, Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez shared the moment Mayor Brandon Johnson asked for his resignation, and his fears about the future of the district.

“[The mayor] asked to borrow, the most irresponsible thing you can ask. … And he said, Pedro, you have credibility in finances. You were the CFO. You can sell this.’ I said, ‘Mayor, it’s not the right thing to do. You’re getting bad advice.’ He finally said, ‘Pedro, … you’ve told me five times that I’m getting bad advice. All that tells me is you’re not on board in my vision, and I need you to leave.’ And that’s when he asked me to resign.”

Weeks after Martinez declined to step aside, the entire Chicago Board of Education resigned, giving Johnson an opportunity to appoint a new board before Chicagoans began choosing elected members at the ballot box.

Poor Mr Martinez thought people in Chicago would ‘do the right thing’ to salvage the school system’s finances. You know…for the children.

‘Tis to laugh.

…“I mean, we know it between the mayor, the mayor’s office, the CTU leadership, they all been together in cahoots,” Martinez said. “I’ve been bullied for a whole year and that’s been publicly on the record. I’ve been personally attacked not only myself. My team has been personally attacked.”

Before he departs to take a new job as Massachusetts state education commissioner, Martinez took aim at the CTU and Johnson:

“If you look at what’s happening with [the Chicago Transit Authority] right now, you know, they’re asking for a bailout. That’s always been the plan for CPS is to put the district in financial distress and to ask for a bailout,” Martinez alleged. “It’s always been the union and it’s been the mayor’s office because they think somehow that because the governor has political aspirations to be in DC then somehow he’s going to do that.”

Lying all along? Perish the thought.

Color me shocked!

Johnson also has other irons in the fire – literally. Harmeet Dhillon has her legal beagle eye on him for some hiring braggadocio he spouted at a church one day.

He just hires black people.

Naturally, that’s kind of a problem. So Harmeet and the DoJ launched an investigation.

The Civil Rights Division has opened an investigation of the employment practices of the City of Chicago, Illinois, to determine whether it has engaged in a pattern or practice of racial discrimination, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. https://t.co/wHe55paVsQ pic.twitter.com/TQO1dCDCMX

Which doesn’t mean diddly squat to the less-than-prudent chief executive of the city. Cool his racist jets?

Not a chance.

He’s all in on the black stuff. I’m assuming because President Trump is taking it all away.

Oh, what – you didn’t know?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says that America under President Trump is “what our country would look like if the Confederacy won.”

If the Confederacy had won then Johnson wouldn’t have the right to vote.

In fact, a CNN anchor had to kind of disabuse the mayor of some of his more…um…inflammatory points.

The ones where he stated President Trump was out to ‘eliminate‘ black existence in America.

HOLY SMOKES: Chicago’s failed mayor just accused Trump of trying to “eliminate Black existence”—and even CNN had to step in.

It was supposed to be a conversation about illegal alien crime.

But Brandon Johnson took it where he always does—race.

Oh, my goodness.

He spent the other day talking about handing out exclusively race-based grants, as ‘reparations,’ basically daring Dhillon to come on down.

INVESTING IN BLACKS IS NOT A CRIME

Oh thank God, I was worried Chicago might accidentally try investing in clean water, functioning schools, or not being a crime-ridden warzone. But no, don’t worry, they’ve cracked the code. Just hand out cash based on skin color. That’ll fix everything.

Because nothing screams…

…Because nothing screams “justice” like the city handing out taxpayer-funded race checks while the rest of the place burns down faster than the mayor’s approval rating.

Apparently, Johnson had Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (brilliant choices) write a letter to Trump, trying to pressure the DoJ into dropping the investigation.

One reporter in Chicago asked Hizzoner about it after he announced the reparation payoff scheme and wondered if maybe the mayor shouldn’t be worried about waving a red flag at the proverbial bull.

For a mouthy guy with not much to say, Johnson sure can clam up at times.

FULL RAW VIDEO: Mayor Brandon Johnson tried to insult me at today’s presser when I pressed him on the Jackson/Sharpton letter asking @realDonaldTrump to shut down the DOJ probe into his race-based hiring.

🎯 I asked him:
Is that an admission of guilt?
A preemptive pardon?… https://t.co/dkR7W2ex7S pic.twitter.com/XHI3VxxX0p

Mostly when he gets called out on something like being a race-baiting hustler, his tiny brain freezes.

He has no answer.

So Johnson’s ‘come at me bro’ confrontational bravado only lasts until someone rolls that beautiful bean footage.

Harmeet Dhillon is going to make mincemeat outta that bear.
