The Democrat indicated to former Fox News host Megyn Kelly that he does not agree with his party on whether biological males should be allowed to compete in women's sports, and that biological males cannot actually become women.
Potential Democratic presidential contender Rahm Emanuel on Monday admitted in a news interview that a biological male cannot actually become a woman, marking a significant break from what has become the mainstream view in his party.
Emanuel, who previously stated he was "in training" to run for the Oval Office, is a powerful figure in Democratic politics, having served as the ambassador to Japan under the Biden administration, and as White House chief of staff during the Obama administration. He also represented Illinois in the House and was the mayor of Chicago from 2011-2019.
The Democrat indicated to former Fox News host Megyn Kelly that he does not agree with his party on whether biological males should be allowed to compete in women's sports, and that biological males cannot actually become women.
“Can a man become a woman,” he repeated back to Kelly on her SiriusXM show. “Not– no.”
Kelly praised Emanuel for "telling the truth" and asked why other Democrats are hesitant to do the same.
“Because I’m now going to go into a witness protection plan," he joked.
The Illinois Democrat also stated that he does not believe minors should be on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, stating people under 18 are too young to make such a decision.
“I think parents have to make that decision themselves,” he said. “I think that is too – a child is too young at 18 to make that decision. It has to be made with a family and that choice. I think before somebody makes a life decision, they have to think twice about that ... You have to have some moral development, and character, and judgment and foundation for that."
Emanuel additionally agreed that biological men should not be in female prisons.
Rahm is still a psychopath...he just hides it better nowadays.
That must’ve taken a lot out of him. Telling the truth and all.
A friend said, “If men could become women, there would be nothing said about it. Zero controversy.”
They know that awful party is a clown show that has went entirely too far left as to have no appeal left to sane people. Their problem is that their young people need to be deprogrammed from years of far left indoctrination at the hands of democrat run education and books of lies.
They are trying to bring it back from the dead.
But it is obvious.
Megan Kelly did her best to prop this a-hole up. He and his brother are horrible people and fortunately it did not take long for Kelly to show us who she really is.
Geez. There might be a little hope for one far-left, liberal RAT kook after all.
Given the havoc and destruction that this ballet dancer inflicted upon Chicago as mayor, no sentient being should consider electing him to any position.
The only positive to his legacy is that the voters of Chicago doubled down and then tripled down on their stupidity by electing Mayor Groot and Mayor BJ as his successors.
Rahm is still a psychopath...he just hides it better nowadays.

Yep.
I read this as political trianguation.
Is there any chance Rham wants to run for high political office?
He'd "change" his mind once elected. It's what Dems do...
Don’t care that he understands simple biology. He should be nowhere near the levers of power.
I could have told that it was impossible for a man to become a woman & I don’t even have any plan to run for president.
I just set a record, I'm agreeing with two Democrats today.
He will NEVER win any primary in the current Democrat party. He will get less votes in any primary than Harris did during the primaries of 2019....Oh yea, she got NONE!
So the leftists have stolen "taqiyya" from their fellow totalitarian leftwing travelers.
THE TRUTH from a dem? He must want to run for office.
That this utterly mundane and obvious statement gets a news article is a testament to how weird things have gotten.
It’s like seeing a NY Times front page headline: “Sun comes up in the morning!!!”
Who imagines this arrogant little weasel as a “ potential presidential contender”?
Is that scraping sound coming from the bottom of a barrel?
the ‘rats are at the bottom of their barrel ...
He’s got plenty of FU money. And maybe he’s running for mayor again.
