Hope sprang eternal when Chicago’s destroyer-in-chief Lori Lightfoot didn’t make the runoff in this year’s mayoral contest, and when a candidate who’d declared that “public safety is a human right” won the plurality of votes in the primary. Could Chicago’s voters have really woken up and realized that when you vote for a socialist/marxist/America hater, you end up living in an un-American hellhole? Tuesday night’s election results confirmed that Chicago’s voters are either still completely asleep at the wheel, or they enjoy living in a broke, crime-ridden city. Or, perhaps they subscribe to Chelsea Handler’s theory that true communism hasn’t really been tried yet, so if we just increase the communism/socialism utopia will finally be achieved. Voters selected Bernie Sanders-endorsed Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson over moderate Democrat Paul Vallas, who was endorsed by Chicago’s police union. As Guy Benson noted at Townhall:
Johnson and his allies attacked Vallas as being “anti-choice” because he has stated that he is personally opposed to abortion due to his Greek Orthodox faith, but also said that his public policy position (pro-choice) differs from his personal position. When he ran for office in 2002 and 2014, he was endorsed by Planned Parenthood. Vallas is personally opposed to abortion, but has stated that he is committed to “upholding a woman’s right to choose” and was endorsed by Planned Parenthood when he ran for office in 2002 and 2014. Because of that position and his support of school vouchers, Johnson continually attacked him as the “MAGA candidate.”
With 94 percent of the votes in, Johnson led Vallas by about 16,000 votes, or 51.42 percent to 48.58 percent.
