Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson made some controversial comments blaming former President Richard Nixon for the surge in gun violence in the Windy City. In a press conference following a violent holiday weekend where 19 people were killed and over 100 were injured in shootings, Mayor Johnson bizarrely shifted the blame to Nixon.
Johnson stated, “Black death has unfortunately been accepted in this country for a very long time. We had a chance 60 years ago to get at the root causes. And people mocked President Johnson, and we ended up with Richard Nixon.” The mayor did not provide further explanation for his remarks.
This surprising statement has sparked debate and drawn criticism from many who question the logic behind blaming a former president who left office nearly 50 years ago. The issue of gun violence in Chicago is a complex and ongoing problem that requires thoughtful solutions and action.
