Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed right-wing extremism for the issues facing his city, accusing them of targeting democratically-run cities and creating division.

“What we’ve seen is a very raggedy form of right-wing extremism,” the mayor stated.

“Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted democratically run cities, and quite frankly, they have been quite intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color.” (Trending: Donald Trump Confronts Bud Light CEO)

“It is the same party that wouldn’t accept that President Obama was actually an American.”

“It’s the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the capital, it’s the same right-wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the civil war. It’s raggedy. It’s disrespectful. It’s mean-spirited,” he added.

“It is abysmal and it is an affront to everything that is good about this country for the extremism in this country to use people as political tools to settle political scores for something that happened over 400 years ago.”

“They’re still mad that a black man is free in this country,” he said.

He also criticized his predecessor and urged right-wing extremists to “dig deeper and lean on their faith.”

“The real disconnect is that you have an unclean spirit that has captured the right-wing extremists in this country. And I call on them to dig deeper and lean on their faith. As Jesus said, who our neighbors really are: the one on the roadside. Those are our neighbors,” Johnson previously said.
