The Chicago mayor accused President Donald Trump of wanting a ‘Civil War’ rematch during a No Kings protest.
Mayor Brandon Johnson ignited the crowd on Saturday by telling liberals to be ‘ready to defend this democracy’ and to be ‘ready to fight fascism.’
‘Are you prepared to destroy authoritarianism once and for all? We’ll let the world hear you, no kings!’ he said in an impassioned speech.
He warned Chicago residents to be prepared for a ‘rematch of the Civil War.’
‘The attempt to divide and conquer this nation will not prevail because when the people are united, justice always prevails,’ he said.
‘If my ancestors, as slaves, can lead the greatest general strike in the history of this country, taking it to the ultra-rich and big corporations, we can do the same today.’
The 49-year-old politician promised the crowd that the liberal hotspot would remain at the forefront of the resistance against the Trump Administration.
