Johnson, a Democrat himself, has launched a scathing critique of Emanuel, accusing him of laying the groundwork for President Donald Trump's 2024 election victory. He went so far as to label Emanuel's tenure as an "act of terror" against Chicago.
Johnson, who is grappling with a dismal 6.6 percent approval rating, expressed his frustration with Emanuel's recent criticisms of the Democratic Party. According to WTTW-TV, Johnson believes Emanuel's actions during his time as mayor provided Trump with a "playbook" for success.

"The playbook that Donald Trump is running is a playbook that Rahm Emanuel executed in this city," Johnson stated. He further elaborated, "We didn’t get here because we just happened to have a tyrant in the White House. He got here because someone gave him the script. And the shutting of schools, the firing of Black women, privatizing our public education system, is why the system is as jacked up as it is today."

As reported by Breitbart, Johnson's accusations against Emanuel are not limited to political strategy. He accused Emanuel of committing "terrorism" on Chicago, arguing that the city's challenges predate Trump's presidency. "Our challenges in Chicago did not start with Donald Trump," Johnson asserted. "One of the greatest, I believe, acts of terror that was ever administered by an administration was the Emanuel administration."

Emanuel, who has been vocal in his criticism of the Democratic Party, has urged party leaders to be more adaptable in the face of crises. In March, he advised Democrats to focus on substantive issues rather than procedural rules, stating, "The Democratic Party should take a look at — and say, we’re going to be honest like we did in 1994 with reinventing government, everything is on the table, nothing is safe. … And that doesn’t happen. And that’s a fair criticism." He also highlighted the persistent crime issues plaguing America's major cities, which he claims Democrats have failed to address.

Johnson, identifying as a "progressive," has taken issue with Emanuel's centrist stance, particularly regarding public education. He accused Emanuel of showing "immense disdain for public education, particularly for Black, Brown and poor children," and criticized him for seeking political redemption. "And now he is prancing around this country, asking people to reconsider him. It is not just frustrating. It is beyond offensive," Johnson remarked.

As the political drama unfolds, the future paths of both Johnson and Emanuel remain subjects of keen interest within the Democratic Party and beyond.
