Chicago Mayor Blames GOP for City Failures: ‘They’re Still Mad That a Black Man Is Free’

JOHNSON: What we've seen is a very raggedy form instituted by right-wing extremism. Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted democratically-ran cities, and quite frankly, they’ve been very intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color. The same republican white wing extremism that stormed the capital, it's the same right wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the civil war. They’re still mad that a black man is free in this country. This is nothing new. But aren't you glad the soul of Chicago won't be broken. Those are the words of, I think, Beyonce. You won't break our soul.
