Did Chicago just vote to commit civic suicide Tuesday by voting in Brandon Johnson as their next mayor? Did Chicago voters get confused about what “Let’s go Brandon” means? The vote for a mayor who is even further to left and more beholden to the teachers union than Lori Lightfoot is inexplicable; even San Francisco had the wit to toss out its soft-on-crime district attorney.
The vote pattern is even more disturbing: the areas suffering the highest crime voted for Johnson in the highest proportion.
