What is so hard to understand about this? Rahm Emanuel helped cover up the murder of Laquan McDonald. Covering up a murder is disqualifying for public leadership. This is not about the “visibility” of a post. It is shameful and concerning that he is even being considered.

Following progressive backlash against reports that Rahm Emanuel was being considered for transportation secretary, Joe Biden may now be considering the former Chicago mayor for the somewhat less visible position of U.S. trade representative. chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-poli

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teenager, Laquan McDonald, while he was Mayor of Chicago. That he's being considered for a cabinet position is completely outrageous and, honestly, very hurtful. cnn.com/2020/11/19/pol

Allowing Rahm Emanuel to return to the White House would be a grave failure of accountability. Sadly, failures of accountability have long characterized the Democratic Party. That’s why the party is led by corporate defenders like Pelosi, Schumer, and Feinstein.

Biden should remember who put him in office. Rahm Emanuel is an architect of the wars on our communities. An appointment in Biden’s cabinet would rightly outrage his base. twitter.com/MondaireJones/…

He’s part of the Corporate Dem class that feigns concern for BIPOC only when it’s convenient. Then leaves them to wither like grapes on the vine post election. If we are going to call out the Right, we damn we’ll better do it to our side as well.

This is precisely why president-elect Biden needs to stand firm and not cater to the progressives. They’ll never be satisfied. And in the end, their “ideas” will cost even more seats in 2022. The Bronx doesn’t represent America. And the socialist message remains a losing one.
