Don't Buy Rahm Emanuel's Phony Jussie Smollett Outrage, America
Patch ^ | 28March2019 | Mark Konkol

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.

Don’t worry, President Trump isn’t going to fall for Emanuel’s “Good-cop Bad-cop” routine.

Sure, Rahm was so very outraged by this miscarriage of justice. Just don’t anyone look at Smollett’s connections with the Obamas and Kamala Harris, and don’t ask any questions about why the mainstream media so eagerly ran with this story without asking a single question.

Don’t worry, Rahm Emanuel will take care of everything! /s

Would love to see Smollett’s cell phone and messaging records in the month up to this event, and how they tie in with that group.

I thought he might, maybe be for real, until he blamed President Trump for something that was committed by a Democrat in a city run by Democrats for decades.

Been saying this all along, Rahm and the Chief are politicians. It’s what they do.

I should have known it was too good to be true.

You will never go wrong in making conclusions by assuming liberals are always lying...always.

I think there is a big name behind Jussie’s hoax script and Jussie was willing to name that person if the charges were not dropped.

My thought exactly.
He wants to be on the side of the masses for future election purposes.
Mr Tu-tu is an all out socialist crook thru and thru.

No one should be able to pay to get out of prison, especially some who could probably call one person and get millions. $130+ is nothing to these people, but it may seem like a lot to the poor of Chicago.

Sounds like Emanuel is ticked because he didn’t get his any part of the bribe?.
Calls Obama no answer.

It’s not a matter of being played. It’s a matter of wondering why he would trash Smollett in the first place. Very curious...

He was angry because Trump highlighted what a sh!thole his city is, and what kind of people set the tone there.

Chicongo...
