It isn't Nixon's fault Democrats have run Chicago for a century

If you are wondering how Chicago has ended up in its perpetual state of violence, look no further than Mayor Brandon Johnson blaming a president who left office 50 years ago.

At least 109 people were shot in Chicago over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, resulting in 19 deaths, including the death of an 8-year-old. Through near tears, Johnson said that “black death” has been accepted in this country because “we had a chance 60 years ago to get at the root causes” and, instead, “we ended up with Richard Nixon.”
