Chicago Mayor Says That Due To Negative Connotations We Should Stop Using The Word 'Chicago'

CHICAGO — Mayor Brandon Johnson advised Chicago reporters to stop using the word "Chicago" when describing anything that happens in Chicago because of all the negative connotations associated with Chicago.

"You can call it 'The Windy City' or 'Downtown Deep Dish' but do not, under any circumstances call it Chicago," said the mayor of Chicago. "That just wouldn't be appropriate."

My first guess was The Onion.

How about the **** hole?

 

[Snapdragon]

It's the Babylon Bee, so it is satire.

With this clown running things in Chiraq? I was 50/50 on it being The Bee or not.

 

[Twangbanger]

You almost had me. I really wonder how long this country will tolerate local news reporting on crime. It's the only part of news left that's still allowed to tell it how it is. I guess the Soros foundation just doesn't have enough money to buy up all the local stations, to prevent it from being reported.

IDK, satire or not I kinda like the title of "Mayor of Downtown Deep Dish" or it would probably be more appropriately "Deep S**t"

The Second City, we’re first at #2.

Got me at first.
Till I went to look at the article.

Can we still use it as a verb? He was chicagoed…

 

[Super Bee]

How about the **** hole?

After just having to go there over the weekend, this fits perfectly.

Ask & ye Shall receive!
It shall now be referred to as "The A**hole of Illinois"

Same here, but I think for good reason with comments like this just a few days ago:

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson reportedly snapped at a reporter for calling young rioters a “mob,” insisting they were just “large gatherings” — and that labeling the riots “mob actions” was inappropriate.

“That’s not appropriate,” the newly minted mayor said in response to a reporter’s question about trends like “mob actions” the city has endured.

“We’re not talking about mob actions. I didn’t say that,” Johnson barked back. “These large gatherings … it’s important that we speak of these dynamics in an appropriate way.”

This isn't satire. I saw the press conference.

It's the Babylon Bee, so it is satire.

The fact that we have to pause and check says everything that needs to be known.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Chiraqistan.

 

[PRasko]

As anyone who has ever lived in or near that hell hole we all just call it chiraq.

Satire or not, that mayor really is a moron.

 

[actaeon277]

Satire or not, that mayor really is a moron.

And people voted for him

 

[Butch627]

And people voted for him

The guy who ran against him was just as bad but the Chicago voters are getting what they deserve

Voters all over are feeling that
And yet, next election it will be the same
