Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson criticized President Donald Trump, labeling him a “monster” amid a federal investigation into his hiring practices for alleged discrimination. Johnson’s administration is under scrutiny from the Department of Justice for possibly engaging in race-based hiring, following his public statements highlighting the racial makeup of his leadership team.
Recent polling shows Johnson is one of the least popular mayors in the country, with an approval rating of only 6.6%.
In response to the investigation, Johnson accused Trump of having “animus towards women, people of color, working people” and blamed his critics for racism.
