'No idea what she's talking about!' Chicago mayor slams Kristi Noem for 'delusional' claim

Source: Raw Story

October 4, 2025 9:20AM ET


Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson fired off at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Saturday in response to what he called her “delusional” claims that protesters in Illinois’ most-populated city were threatening to harm federal agents and their families.

On Friday, Kristi Noem was filmed in Chicago prepping federal agents for President Donald Trump’s crackdown on Chicago, telling them “we’re going to hammer these guys that are advocating for violence against the American people!” She went on to allege Chicago protesters of advocating to harm federal agents and their families, dox them online, and claimed that they “[victimize] people every day by the way that they’re talking.”

Johnson, however, dismissed Noem’s claims out of hand, and alleged Noem of having “no idea what she’s talking about” while appearing on MSNBC.

“First of all, she has no idea what she's talking about,” Johnson said. “The Trump administration, they are completely delusional right now, and what they are promulgating in this particular moment are not just unconstitutional measures, but they're dangerous and reckless. It's antithetical to who we are as a nation… This president has worked hard to relitigate the Civil War, and we're not going to stand for it!”

From EPSTEIN. They don’t smile, they don’t encourage positive results, they live in fear of a convicted felon, they do nothing for our country and they operate today because that’s what trump voters want them to do. Said voters will soon be encouraged to blame others for the bad things they cheer on.

WTEF?

No. No, this cannot be America. This is not going to end well for Noem, trump, or protesters.

I don’t want to dismiss this as just her pushing it to show fealty to Dear Leader but….its also as oversight and intimidation.

Let alone the incomprehensible attempt to link her to some delusional concept of Christ.
Just another naSSty Nazi, and NO relation to Jesus.

With a website containing pictures, names, addresses, family member names, phone number of doctor who practiced reproductive care? A website than encouraged the killing of these doctors - one of whom was killed during a church service?
I hope they id ever stinking one of them - I read AI can identify based on 35% of a face being exposed - only good use of AI I've seen.

from this Federal invasion. If they prefer instead to obey Trump, then they should get fired.
