Brandon Johnson's latest viral moment sends Chicago critics into a frenzy: 'What the actual F?'

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."

The clip, circulating on X this week, shows Johnson dancing to "Hideaway" by Kiesza, dancing alongside a group on a rooftop, prompting conservative commentators to call out the mayor for seemingly neglecting the city’s crime problem.

Johnson’s 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.

"What the actual F?," asked Fox News contributor Joe Concha.

"1,320 people shot in Chicago in 2026 so far," wrote popular X account End Wokeness sharing the video.

"Chicago does not need another influencer with a title," wrote popular X account True Patriot Voice.

"23% approval rating. 40 people shot per week. Thugs doing ‘street takeovers’ every week. Businesses fleeing," said conservative commentator Benny Johnson.

"Pathetic," said New York Post contributor Miranda Devine.

"Embarrassing and pathetic," said another user.

"Brandon Johnson should be impeached for making this video," said Ambassador Nick Adams, special presidential envoy for American tourism, exceptionalism and values.

"Keep voting failures in Chicagoans," said Kaltbaum Capital president Gary Kaltbaum.

Johnson was first elected as the Windy city’s mayor in 2023 and announced he will be seeking a second term over the weekend.

Chicago has long struggled with crime, and Chicago Police Department data through June 26 showed shootings up about 3% from the same period last year and motor-vehicle thefts up 10%. Preliminary Cook County Medical Examiner data showed 219 homicides through June 30, compared with 208 during the first half of 2025.
