Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has called for paying reparations to African-American residents as a way to prevent them from committing crimes.
Mr. Johnson, who has been mayor for eight months, revealed the plan in a CNN interview on Friday evening going into the holiday weekend. During the interview, he appeared to blame government policies for crimes committed by black Americans, characterizing the need for reparations for those who have been incarcerated “because of failed policies.”
