Public: Christopher Leon Johnson supports Mangin, complains about panel process
Johnson supports the nomination 100% but complains that Zoom panelists were allowed to speak before in-person speakers, contrary to the expected order. He criticizes the council speaker for opposing the nomination after voting for City of Yes, and accuses security of lying about a former council member being present.
Hello?
Yeah, my name is Christopher Leon Johnson.
I didn't like how that was handled, okay?
It was supposed to be in person first and then Zoom after.
What you did was you just let all those abundance world speak before all of us, and that's not right.
I support this nomination, but I'm gonna make this right now that if you saying that was a former councilman, he was not there.
So you guys completely lied.
Your security details lied to me, all right?
Completely fucking lied, all right?
I'm not just keeping it real as a person, okay?
They lied.
I want to say this right now.
I support the nomination 100%, but look, if y'all want support, y'all shouldn't be treating people like that.
That should be fair.
In person first, Zoom after the fact, all right?
But I'm going to say this right now that the city council speaker, she voted in favor of intro 417-2022.
Why is she mad about this?
She's nothing but a carbon copy of our dream, the way she's acting when it comes to Mr.
John Mangin.
I support this nomination 100%.
This nomination is the way she handled the nomination is really, really wrong.
Look, she helped sell the city out.
For the city of yes, in 2020.
And many of you guys did too.
And some of you guys actually support the city, yes, like the one next to you, Mrs.
Natasha Williams.
But everybody knows what's going on here.
She's going to find a way to really pull your way to get this guy not nominated.
But he deserves a job.
And that's why I got to say he deserves his job.
I mean, look, I don't support the city, yes, but I'm not here to stop this guy.
From working.
He deserved to be the chair.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what it is.
Mabdani believes that he should be the chair.
Then I should, he should be the chair.
But to say it right now, like the way you guys did that with the panel was really wrong.
And the way y'all saying that a former council member was on the panel to try to find where to sneak those bike bros in and those bunder bros was really wrong.
So the way it looked like that, you guys lied.
So that's all I gotta say.
Thank you and enjoy your day.
