Al Sharpton says Rahm Emanuel must go as mayor of Chicago
Washington Times ^ | 12-28-15 | Kelly Riddell

Posted on 12/28/2015 3:18:14 PM PST by dynachrome

The Reverend Al Sharpton called for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step down because of his poor management of race and policing in his city since the release last month of a video showing a white Chicago police officer firing 16 shots into a black teenager and subsequent officer violence.

Mr. Emanuel is vacationing in Cuba, while demonstrators are circulating petitions for his resignation, and protesters blocked traffic on the city’s famed shopping district on Michigan Avenue on Christmas Eve chanting “Rahms got to go in 2016!”

“You talk about a crisis on steroids,” Mr. Sharpton said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. “You are in the middle of a recall vote, they are circulating petitions in Chicago to recall you, the state legislature is going to have to deal with it and you don’t even come back? This is the height of either insensitivity or lack of intelligence or arrogance, or a reasonable combination of all three.

Big fight over bragging rights about who’s the bigger commie, Rahm or Al. Wish I could sell tickets to a cage match.

Is he vacationing there, or seeking asylum?

You know things are getting bad when a lapdog like Sharpton turns on his owners.

He’s called Rahn “deadfish’ Emmanuel for a reason.

I say Twinkle Toes and Not-So-Sharpton should both just move to Cuba and get a compound together.

In all fairness to Rahm, why should he go, after all Al has never gone after all the times we called for him to leave. And I hear Rahm finally paid his taxes, Al?................

"You talk about a crisis on steroids," Mr. Sharpton said Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program.

Was he speaking out of his bullhorn?

The best solutions for Chicago all require tactical nukes.
