Dem mayor blasted for 'ridiculously' blaming deceased GOP president for deadly July 4 weekend gun violence
Fox News
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson was blasted on social media after invoking the name of former President Richard Nixon while discussing gun crime in Chicago.
"Black death has unfortunately been accepted in this country for a very long time. We had a chance 60 years ago to get at the root causes. And people mocked President Johnson, and we ended up with Richard Nixon." Andrew Mark Miller is a reporter at Fox News.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Jim Byron, president and CEO of the Richard Nixon Foundation, pushed back on the mayor's claim.
