Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has described President Trump as a “monster” for launching a federal investigation against him.
Speaking at a church in Woodlawn, Illinois over the weekend, Johnson said he preferred to hire black people because they are more generous than whites.
This has since led to Department of Justice opening an investigation into Johnson for racial discrimination.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Johnson said that Trump’s investigation was the result of his own racial animus:
As far as, you know, the president’s animus towards women, people of color, working people, we have always known who he has been. This is not a surprise. He’s a monster.
We have the most diverse administration in the history of Chicago, and he is threatened by that.
You can tell when someone is fearful is because they act out. We have a president that is screaming and having tantrums right now because we have an administration that reflects the city of Chicago, but he would much rather have administrations that reflect the country club. Period.
He is most comfortable around people who think and look like him.
