They usually disgraced themselves within the course of with play that was as soiled as any of the machinations in Chicago, a metropolis that’s just about shorthand for “political corruption” in the US.
A Democratic Occasion bastion for generations — and now run by a leftist lunatic named Brandon Johnson — it’s actually not an accident that Chicago is the place the Democratic Occasion determined to carry its conference there this 12 months.
