It is no secret now that the Radical Left loves terrorists. But they have taken things to the extreme.
And the Chicago Mayor’s stunning pro-terror protest comments have revealed the Democrats’ plan.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is making headlines for his nonchalant attitude regarding the massive pro-Palestinian protests planned for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this week.
In an interview with ABC’s Martha Raddatz, Johnson claimed that he’s “not worried” about the demonstrations overshadowing the convention, Kamala Harris, or her potential rise as the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer in the 2024 election.

However, Johnson’s dismissiveness is emblematic of the Democratic Party’s larger issues—failing leadership, internal discord, and a blatant disregard for the true concerns of American citizens.
Mayor Johnson’s assurance that Democrats “can handle” the protests because it’s a “privilege” to hear grievances reveals just how out of touch the Democratic establishment has become. What Johnson fails to acknowledge is that these protests aren’t just a minor inconvenience—they are a glaring symptom of a fractured party, divided between its radical fringe and an out-of-touch establishment.
The protests began Sunday night with demonstrators vowing to “bring the war home,” a dangerous escalation of rhetoric that should concern any responsible leader. Rather than addressing the legitimate safety concerns, Johnson seems more focused on the city’s reputation for hosting conventions.
It’s laughable that he would boast about Chicago’s “experience” in hosting conventions, as if this alone will magically resolve the deep political unrest festering within the Democratic Party.
With the Chicago Police Department operating with 1,700 fewer officers than just five years ago, and crime skyrocketing under his leadership, Johnson’s assurance that safety will be paramount is hard to take seriously.
The reality is that Chicago has become a symbol of Democratic failure—rampant crime, ineffective governance, and now, massive protests that threaten to overshadow the party’s marquee event.
Adding fuel to the fire, the protesters are not just targeting President Biden, but also Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris, who has tried to distance herself from the Biden administration’s disastrous legacy, is now facing the same backlash as the President.
The notion that Harris, who has been Biden’s closest political ally for nearly four years, can somehow escape the tarnish of this administration is absurd.
Harris has been notably absent when it comes to addressing real issues facing the American people. From her failures as “border czar” to her tone-deaf speeches on economic recovery, Harris has done little to instill confidence in her leadership abilities.
Yet, Mayor Johnson could hardly contain his enthusiasm, claiming there’s “tremendous excitement” around her campaign stops.
But who is truly excited? Certainly not the American people, who continue to suffer under crushing inflation, out-of-control gas prices, and a border crisis that the Democrats have been utterly incompetent in addressing.
Johnson’s failure to address the growing discontent within his own party is part of a larger issue facing Democrats. The pro-Palestinian protests are a manifestation of the ideological tug-of-war within the Democratic Party. On one side, you have the radical left, pushing anti-Israel rhetoric, and on the other, the more traditional wing of the party struggling to keep control. This infighting only serves to highlight the Democrats’ inability to govern effectively.
Instead of dealing with these fractures, Johnson and the party’s leaders, like Harris, prefer to focus on virtue-signaling and empty platitudes about “First Amendment rights” and “the privilege” of hearing grievances.
While free speech is undoubtedly a cornerstone of American democracy, there is a growing sense that the Democratic Party is more concerned with catering to fringe, activist groups than addressing the real concerns of ordinary Americans—such as economic instability, national security, and rising crime.
Kamala Harris, as the Democratic Party’s potential 2024 nominee, represents a continuation of failed policies and poor leadership. From her inability to address the southern border crisis to her disastrous handling of economic recovery initiatives, Harris has demonstrated time and again that she is simply not equipped to lead the country.
Even Democrats appear to be losing faith in her ability to handle the complexities of governance.
As for Mayor Johnson, his comments highlight the broader issues with Democratic leadership in cities like Chicago. Under his watch, crime has surged, the police force has been weakened, and the city’s reputation continues to decline.
Yet, instead of addressing these critical issues head-on, Johnson is more concerned with downplaying the significance of the protests and celebrating Chicago’s convention-hosting abilities.
His comments comparing the Republican Party to “breakdancing at the Olympics” might have been meant as a humorous jab, but they only reveal how unserious the Democrats have become.
While the Republican Party focuses on restoring economic stability, securing the border, and protecting American values, Democrats like Johnson and Harris are more interested in pandering to radical activists and deflecting blame for their failures.
In contrast, the Republican Party, with leaders like Donald Trump, has consistently put the American people first. Trump’s America First agenda focused on creating jobs, securing the border, and strengthening the economy. Unlike Harris and her Democratic colleagues, Trump faced challenges head-on and delivered results.
While Democrats are busy navigating protests and internal chaos, the Republican Party is focused on the issues that truly matter to American families—reducing inflation, restoring law and order, and ensuring that the United States remains a global leader.
As the Democrats continue to crumble under the weight of their own failures, the GOP stands ready to provide the strong, decisive leadership the country desperately needs.
As the Democratic National Convention unfolds in Chicago, it’s clear that the party is in disarray. Mayor Brandon Johnson’s blasé attitude toward the protests only underscores the larger problem—Democrats are more concerned with placating their radical base than addressing the issues facing the American people.
Kamala Harris, touted as the party’s future, is no more capable of leading than Biden, and the protests surrounding her only highlight the deep divisions within the Democratic Party.
