Denver Mayor Mike Johnston gave an interview about immigration on Friday, and it's hilarious.
“We believe in a democracy you should be able to change administrations and change parties and still serve all of your residents,” Johnston said.
Johnston imported a new class of "residents," violent criminal invaders, and his tenure has made Denver remarkably less safe. He has prioritized illegitimate "residents" over the safety and service needs of Denver citizens -- his actual constituents -- and it's been such a travesty that Colorado's migrant crisis is a national news story.
And now he is doubling down.
When asked whether the incoming administration's illegal immigration crackdown is going to change the city's treatment of the migrant crisis, Johnston was defiant.
“The short answer is, we won't change that, because those are one of our core values. And we're not going to sell out those values to anyone. We're not going to be bullied into changing them,” Johnston claimed, adding, "I think we are gonna continue to be a welcoming, open, big-hearted city that's gonna stand by our values."
A core value that prioritizes criminal invasion and migrant crime over the safety and service needs of Americans is a fascinating hill to die on. It is the very essence of weaponized empathy, and it's going to get people killed.
“It's far more expensive and far worse for our communities to have people out on the streets begging for money or looking for public support,” Johnston said. “They're hard working and they want to be able to pay for themselves.”
See, this is interesting, because no one is proposing putting the criminal invaders on the street. We're proposing rounding them up and sending them back where they came from. That is something that Johnston plans to oppose, and he is calling for Denver citizens to join him and rise up against the federal government to protect his favored "newcomers."
“More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston said. “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them.”
That sounds like insurrection and, after four years of rhetoric and precedent on the topic, insurrection is something the federal government cannot tolerate. If these people didn't have inconsistent values, they'd have no values at all.
What a difference an election makes.

Fine article.He (Johnston) makes me think of the black elderly woman in Minneapolis when the mostly peaceful protests broke out and resulted in her pharmacy going up in flames and her asking what she was going to do for a pharmacy since it was now gone.He is out to lunch. I’m not sure I would feel comfortable letting him run a book club. Much less a entire city.
