“Negotiating the details of my values is always something I’ve been open to.” Well that’s a wrap people. No need to dig further. He told us that he’s for sale and he’s not ashamed to admit it.

Who “negotiates the details of their values?” It’s an honest question. It seems to me that values are non-negotiable.

He’s a racist jag off. Just wait till he starts calling everyone racist for not wanting this.

“Negotiating the details of my values is something I’ve always been open to.” There it is-Brandon has no values, as we suspected. Or he doesn't know the meaning of words.

I love your work Austin. I really do. But how can we wake up the masses? They don’t seem to care about facts, stats, real world examples, videos, texts or even the actions of these garbage politicians. The morons of Illinois are still gonna “VoTe bLuE nO mAtTeR WhO” 🥴

Meaning: "I have no values that can't be bought."

🚨BREAKING: Chicago resident TORCHES Mayor Brandon Johnson for lying about not raising property taxes and about lowering crime in the city, while spending money on illegal migrants, cutting janitor jobs, and at the same time allocating $22 million for his security detail. He also SLAMS the mayor for wasting time livestreaming with “China-loving dog, communist Hasan Piker” while crime in the city is out of control, adding that Johnson needs to stop being racist. “You’re saying that you never told a lie, so you raised property taxes when you promised you wouldn’t. You promised that crime would go down when it’s not.” “ Nobody voted for you to fund illegal migrants, Brandon Johnson, and we know this is happening.”

The Mayor proposed a $127 BILLION budget — and raising property taxes is on the table. I will NEVER support raising property taxes on Staten Island families. We don’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem. City Hall must cut waste — not raise your taxes.

City Council Speaker Julie Menin on Friday called Mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposal to raise property taxes if Gov. Kathy Hochul doesn't agree to a tax hike on the rich a "nonstarter." "We've been very clear that is a nonstarter for us," she said. "We cannot be raising property taxes 9.5% on the backs of small property owners, small business owners, Black and brown communities throughout our city," Menin told NY1's Rocco Vertuccio.
