CHICAGO - In case you missed it, during yesterday’s testimony before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Representative Darin LaHood (IL-16) accosted Brandon Johnson on the decline of Chicago. During his two year term as Mayor, Johnson has continually put illegal immigrants before Chicago residents at the expense of public safety, local businesses and law enforcement.

During his questioning, LaHood grilled Johnson on continuing to push failed, progressive policies while being firmly rejected by the people of Chicago.

“I thought you might do this, and when I hear your answer, no one in this room should be surprised that your approval rating is 6.6%. Now that’s not just me saying this, Newsweek article, “the least popular politician in America is Brandon Johnson. So recent poll, M3 strategies conducted this February 21st showed that Mayor Johnson has a 6.6% approval rating, the worst showing of any political figure in the country’s history.” So I know you’re talking about crime is down and things are great, and you know the city’s flush with money. None of that is backed up by the people in the city of Chicago. And so I’m wondering why you continue to go down this path of failed policies, destruction to the city of Chicago, people fleeing, law enforcement, at an all time low. And I’m wondering if you have any remorse for that here today, and can tell us why you continue to double down on these failed policies?” – Rep. Darin LaHood

Bottom Line: Brandon Johnson needs to prioritize Chicago residents over illegal immigrants.
