Christopher Leon Johnson testifies against proposal with inflammatory remarks
Johnson opposes the restructuring but veers off topic with religious and personal accusations. Chair Farías repeatedly asks him to stay on topic, cuts his time, and has him removed from the chamber.
Yeah, hello.
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson.
I oppose this proposal, and I'm going to explain why.
Because we have a mayor, Mom Donnie, that not only when he ran for mayor, he's still mayor to this day, he refused to really address the gun violence problem in the city.
Second, he refused to really address the domestic violence problem in the city.
And I think everybody knows why.
You know why?
Because Mabdani is a Muslim.
And I'm going to tell you this right now.
That the problem with...
I'm going to keep you to topic.
I'm doing this.
This is on topic.
This is on topic.
The problem...
You're restraining very, very closely to being off topic.
I understand.

That's the truth.
He has to make sure that.
That's the facts.
Let me tell you right now, I think that the city council needs to come and make a statement condemning Islam in general when it comes to the domestic violence problem.
No, this is the facts.
I'm going to go forward.
I'm going to go forward.
That nonprofit that has walked out.
You know, they got an abuser that abuses women in that nonprofit, Sisters in Purple.
His name is Elvis C.

People have been telling us that's the facts.
I need you to remain on topic to the hearing and not accusatory of the folks that testified.
This is the fact.
I got the receipts on Instagram, on my IMDN.
But this is the facts, right?
However.
Going forward, I'm going to say, like, the city council needs to make a statement.
calling, condemning the religion of Islam for the domestic violence issues.
I'm going to cut your time and cut your mic.
Why you cut my time?
Because that is not true.
The truth about, that's the truth about Islam.
We've gone through this before.
This domestic violence organization.
Yeah.
Please remove him from the chamber.
Yo, this is crazy.
I'm leaving.
