Once again, evil white people are to blame.
Just never stops with these people, nothing is ever their fault.

He's referring to migrants like those shipped from Texas to Chicago, causing a homelessness crisis:

Stop posting right-wing opinion pieces. They're never accurate.

Read your articles before posting. Not just the headline.

You posted an entirely different article, try reading the one I posted,
"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.”

Yawn.

Your buddy made false claims about the mayor. That what this thread is about.

Sounds like YOU are the one that didn't read the article:
"Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed right-wing extremism for the issues facing his city, accusing them of targeting democratically-run cities and creating division.

“Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country ...[text shortened]... been quite intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color.”
You missed my edit. Your right-wing opinion piece is wrong. Johnson was *specifically* talking about the migrant crisis and being targeted by red states to ship then there

He wasn't blaming Chicago's problems on anyone else.

You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension.
He IS blaming right-wing extremists for his city's problems, are you really that thick?

Wrong, cupcake.

He's pinning literally one problem on right-wingers which is verifiably true. It's a fact that Texas shipped migrants to Chicago, and doing so caused a homelessness problem.

So why did your article leave that part out? Because it makes right wingers look bad. Your propaganda piece made it seem the mayor was just blaming any and all problems on your kind. He's not. The mayor is addressing a specific issue your people caused.

Ask Vivify, then whose fault is it? Best fun on forum is asking libs questions they cannot answer. I should have written them all down, so I can send them all out as a Christmas present. I do still wish Sonhouse would explain why he is OK with male swimmers and little girls, but will not tell me what he would think if it was his daughter in the swim meet.
I have already chalked that one up as a win, so I hope now that he doesn’t answer it, I might be have to take it out of the win column.

Whose fault is it that migrants were allowed in Texas to begin with?

Migrants are not "allowed" to cross illegally:

https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/01/texas-border-sb4-illegal-crossing-state-law/

Abbott has taken a series of actions since March 2021, such as sending troopers and National Guard members to the 1,200-mile-long Texas-Mexico border to apprehend immigrants crossing the Rio Grande.
