Don't Buy Rahm Emanuel's Phony Jussie Smollett Outrage, AmericaBy Mark Konkol, Patch Staff | Mar 28, 2019
CHICAGO, IL — Don't let Mayor Rahm Emanuel's phony rage about Jussie Smollett getting off easy fool you, America. He's auditioning to score a gig as an angry know-it-all pundit on a national lefty news network.
Chicago's lame-duck boss has been campaigning to rewrite his mayoral legacy of failure for months while the city eagerly awaits his successor. His City Hall Spin Machine has been pumping out as many as four happy press releases a day. If Rahm's not cutting ribbons, he's begging New York Times reporters for favorable news stories, and who knows what else, to pimp his revisionist history.
These days, every tweet he sends, podcast he records, every single move he makes aims to get people to forget the truth: Emanuel's administration passed a historic property tax increase, shut down 50 public schools, closed mental health clinics, and left the city on the brink of a financial meltdown that made winning a third term impossible.
Emanuel's Smollett outrage is a smoke show.
