REPORT: Joe Biden Considering Rahm Emanuel For Transportation Secretary

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is on President-elect Joe Biden’s short list for transportation secretary, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Emanuel is a divisive figure both inside and out of the Democratic Party, with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanding in early November that Biden not appoint him to a cabinet position. Emanuel is also an Obama administration alumnus, having served as the 44th president’s chief of staff.

“Someone like Rahm Emanuel would be a pretty divisive pick,” Ocasio-Cortez said, according to the New York Times. “And it would signal, I think, a hostile approach to the grass-roots and the progressive wing of the party.”

“We must govern with integrity and accountability. Laquan McDonald’s life mattered,” She added, referencing the 2014 police shooting that occurred in Chicago under Emanuel’s administration.

AOC shooting arrows at Rahm? Ya gotta admit she's slipped further over the edge in some weird way.

Well, you know what they say...The bigger they (think) they are, the harder they fall. Usually a face plant. I can't wait.

   Hopefully, he'll meet the same fate as the last guy who made the 'Trains run on Time'?
