An example is given where Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defended his campaign&#8217;s large expenditure on personal grooming by\u2063 emphasizing\u200d that the \u2064money went to minority-owned\u200c businesses. Similar instances are shown with other\u2062 Democratic figures who invoke the racial and ethnic makeup of groups supposedly benefited by certain policies \u200dto preempt or \u200bshut down potential criticism \u200cand debate about the applicable issues at hand, perceived shortcomings, or missteps. This tactic is portrayed as an insurance strategy \u200cthat helps these politicians avoid accountability by redirectively emphasizing their support for underrepresented communities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>Word got around that if you\u2019re a Democrat, <em>especially a black or brown one<\/em>, the surefire way to evade any accountability is to use some variation of the phrase, \u201cespecially black and brown people \u2026\u201d It works better than bleach.<\/p>\n<p>During a press conference last week, a reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EndWokeness\/status\/1801389887133991401\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asked<\/a> Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson about the $30,000 in campaign funds he spent in just one year on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-13508011\/Chicago-Brandon-Johnson-Mayor-Progressive-Office-Makeup.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">haircuts and makeup<\/a>. \u201cI think it\u2019s always appropriate to make sure we\u2019re investing in small businesses,\u201d said the former teacher union boss, \u201cespecially minority-owned, black-owned, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-choice-to-lead-dojs-civil-rights-division-melanin-endows-blacks-with-greater-mental-physical-and-spiritual-abilities-video\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Choice to Lead DOJ\u2019s Civil Rights Division: \u201cMelanin Endows Blacks with Greater Mental, Physical and Spiritual Abilities\u201d (VIDEO)\">women-owned businesses<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-557759059\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-36f5ccde9b718da6a3f7cfbddf091e26 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-36f5ccde9b718da6a3f7cfbddf091e26\"><\/div>\n<p>For good measure, he invoked the sacred incantation again. \u201cOur campaign spends money on food,\u201d he said. \u201cWe support black- and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/denver-city-council-member-tax-white-owned-businesses-and-give-it-to-black-brown-owned-businesses\/\" title=\"Tax white-owned businesses and redistribute funds to black and brown-owned businesses, suggests Denver City Council member.\">brown-owned businesses<\/a>, women-owned businesses.\u201d And a third: \u201cGo get your hair and makeup done \u2014\u00a0by black people, in particular.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See?
