The Curiously Persistent Quest of Rahm Emanuel for Power and Title

“The fact is, when it boils down to it, Rahm Emanuel should not be appointed, should not be even thought of when it comes to any public office in the United States of America. He has lost all trust from our city, he has lost all trust, to me, nationwide,” said Will Calloway, a community organizer who was instrumental in the release of the police footage of McDonald’s murder."- from the article
Our allies in the Pacific Rim deserve only and always the very best the USA has to offer. It is beyond #TimeOut, #TimeUp to send our ally Japan anything less, like Rahm Emanuel, to serve the best interests of Japan and the USA. Covering up CPD taking the life needlessly of any person is the same as aiding and abetting a felon. RE should be grateful for his freedom.
Confirming him as an Ambassador is the eqivalent of rewarding someone for spectacularly egregious and toxic behavior. A foundational principle of behavior theory is that rewarding someone for bad behavior choices sends the message to the positive reward recipient that they can get rewarded and receive positive attention for everything they do, good or evil. Emanuel is legendary even among his family for his temper and use of colorful language.
Progressive activists and lawmakers are calling for the Senate to reject the disgraced former Chicago mayor's nomination as envoy to Japan.
Given the already tense global situation in the Pacific Rim nations due to Covid and many other issues, RE is simply not diplomat material. He really needs to be told that inconvenient truth and then spend the rest of his life making amends for his complicity in the murder of another human being whose real/ not ever truly real crime was being non-white. 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was denied the rest of his life, it is appropriate and necessary that Rahm Emanuel is denied this "reward". Will Calloway is 100 percent correct in his assessment.
