BREAKING: 15 Chicago aldermen are calling on Mayor Brandon Johnson to strip Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez of his leadership role as Chairman of the Committee on Housing and Real Estate. Sigcho-Lopez is under fire for partnering with far-left extremist group Behind Enemy Lines, which has openly called for disorder and violence at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Full text of the resolution ⬇️ WHEREAS, The City Council of the City of Chicago has adopted its 2023-2027 Rules of Order and Procedure; and, WHEREAS, Rule 36 of the 2023-2027 Rules of Order and Procedure all for the Members of the City Council to adopt a resolution codifying standing committee membership and leadership; and, WHEREAS, The City Council adopted its committee structure resolution on May 24, 2023, thereby installing Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez as Chair of the Committee on Housing and Real Estate for the 2023-2027 term; and, WHEREAS, Recent actions by Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez call into question his judgment and fitness to serve in that capacity; now therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, That, in accordance with Rule 36 of the 2023-2027 Rules of Order and Procedure, Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez is hereby immediately removed as Chair of the Committee on Housing and Real Estate; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That such removal will be effective immediately and that the Vice Chair of the Committee on Housing and Real Estate shall assume leadership of the committee until the City Council of the City of Chicago installs a permanent Chair for the remainder of the 2023-2027 term.
Here are some recent public comments from Behind Enemy Lines. “Make bruises from Chicago police batons the 2024 back to school Fall fashion!” … “It's no coincidence that the organizations that are asking people to thank Brandon Johnson, are the same organizations that are refusing to call for the DNC to be cancelled, and are instead working to channel dissent into forms that are acceptable to the imperialists: perfectly peaceful permitted protests and electoral lobbying.” … “In the spirit of 68, where protestors said ‘Stop the DNC!’ and looked to the leadership of the Chinese revolution…”
@Austin__Berg We salute those alderman, a small spark of political courage?? ?
@Austin__Berg Like that's going to happen. Lol. He takes his marching orders from preckwinkle and the ctu ONLY.
@Austin__Berg It's interesting because Mayor Johnson has zero to negative political capital as it is right now. I think he may just do it.
