Rahm Emanuel: Dems Need to Say ‘Everything Is on the Table, Nothing Is Safe’ for Cutting Regulations, But Don’t
Breitbart ^ | 03/01/2025 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/01/2025 5:07:35 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

During the online “Overtime” segment of Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel argued that Democrats are too focused on passing rules and “we have made it impossible to function as a city or as a state” and Democrats should look at government regulations and say, “everything is on the table, nothing is safe.” But haven’t.

Washington Post columnist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria stated that the image people have of Democrats is “lots of taxes, lots of regulation, but nothing gets done.”

And “Democrats have to own this and realize the answer to everything is not more taxes, more regulation. People are fed up with that and they feel that it isn’t working.”

...they “feel” it isn’t working Rahm....?

It’s NOT WORKING. Theres no “feelings” about it. They see it is not working. They KNOW it isn’t working. Its not subjective opinion and feelings.

Maybe his name is in the Epstein docs and he is setting himself up for a deal. This looks fishy to me.

Actually, it was a poorly written headline. This was his actual quote (from the article):

During the online “Overtime” segment of Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel argued that Democrats are too focused on passing rules and “we have made it impossible to function as a city or as a state” and Democrats should look at government regulations and say, “everything is on the table, nothing is safe.” But haven’t.

I’m no fan of Rahm Emanual and I’m skeptical about his sincerity, but that was a terrible headline. Does Breitbart not have proof readers?

Take it in the alley. Rahm’s solution to people getting shot in Chicago when he was Mayor. I’m probably not going to listen to anything he has to say.

Cutting health insurance for retired police officers was on the table for Rhammie-boy; but tens of millions for illegals, that was a required City expense.

Rahm needs to crawl back under the rock he crawled out from under.

“All of a sudden Rahm you change lanes?”

Not really. The left cannot continue to exist without the graft. Giving up the graft is existential.

So he will talk about it but resist any changes but the most trivial.

Rahm Emanuel’s True Philosophy:

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
