Social media is erupting over a viral video of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson showing off his dance moves, with the clip quickly spreading across X as users call the performance “embarrassing.”<\/p>\n
The clip, circulating on X this week, shows Johnson dancing to “Hideaway” by Kiesza alongside a group on a rooftop, prompting conservative commentators to call out the mayor for seemingly neglecting the city\u2019s crime problem.<\/p>\n
Johnson\u2019s campaign confirmed to Fox News Digital that he participated in the video but did not provide details about when it was filmed. The video circulated on X over the same weekend that Johnson announced Sunday that he would seek a second term.<\/p>\n
