Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson appears to have rebranded himself as a conservative solely to save his political career and secure a cushy job as Trump’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. 

Johnson is best known for jumping off the Democrats’ sinking ship late last year and switching party affiliation to Republican. But some of his now-deleted social media posts have resurfaced, exposing his radical left and anti-Trump views.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Johnson is now vying for a spot in President-Elect Donald Trump’s cabinet, according to sources close to the administration.

It is unclear whether he jumped on the Trump bandwagon last year with this intention or not, but some of his so-called previous views are so far left that his supposedly newfound views don’t seem sincere. He wasn’t a moderate Democrat who decided his party had gotten too radical. He is one of the radicals.

We reported yesterday on Johnson’s January 30, 2017 tweet, decrying Trump’s executive order “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States.” He incorrectly labeled the EO a “Muslim Ban” and stated, “this ill-advised executive order may actually make Americans less safe by fueling dangerous xenophobic sentiments…”

In a post responding to Governor Greg Abbott banning sanctuary cities, the open borders Mayor said, “Now, more than ever, we must stand w/ our immigrant community” and called on Texas to “resist the anti-immigrant efforts of the Rs.” The post ended with the hashtag “NoBanNoWallNoRaids.”

The Gateway Pundit further reported on the anti-Trump Mayor’s praise for Obama in a 2018 tweet where he bashed Trump once again:

 

Johnson also praised Russiagate hoaxer Adam Schiff, James Comey, and Black Lives Matter in since-deleted tweets, The Gateway Pundit reported.

In addition to urging people to “stay woke” and saying that a Trump presidency is “everything we feared” for uninsured, LGBTQ, and minority individuals, Johnson also condemned a piece of legislation in Texas that would keep boys out of the girl’s restrooms. He claimed that the bill “forces vulnerable #transgender Texans to be singled out and subject to further discrimination.” Embedded in the post is a transgender flag image that reads “protect transgender youth.”

In another tweet about the bathroom bill, he called on lawmakers to “protect our transgender community” while endorsing a claim by former Dallas Mayor Democrat Mike Rawlings that there’s no danger for ladies in public restrooms.

He also praised the violence-inciting radical left Congresswoman Maxine Waters and praised her confidence and wokeness.

As recently as 2020, Johnson has openly supported Barack Obama. He announced in June 2020 that he was signing Obama’s Mayors Pledge and focusing on “justice and equity.” Obama’s pledge, officially titled “The Reimagining Policing Pledge,” calls for cities to “redefine public safety and combat systemic racism within law enforcement” by radically changing police policies, such as use-of-force policies. Dallas, Texas is still listed as a pledged community.

We don’t need a DEI Marxist serving in the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
