Former Democrat Mayor Rahm Emanuel just destroyed Chicago’s woke leadership with one devastating truth bomb
Democrat-run Chicago is in complete freefall.
While crime explodes and kids can’t read, leftists are more concerned about woke bathroom policies than keeping their streets safe.
And former Democrat Mayor Rahm Emanuel just destroyed Chicago’s woke leadership with one devastating truth bomb.
The liberal paradise of Chicago has become a case study in Democrat failure, with former Mayor Rahm Emanuel delivering a blistering takedown of the city’s current leadership on Bill Maher’s Real Time.
Emanuel, who served as Chicago’s Mayor and later as Biden’s Ambassador to Japan, didn’t mince words about the catastrophic state of his former city under progressive leadership.
The numbers don’t lie: Current Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s approval rating sits at a pathetic 6.6% – a figure that should shock even the most hardened critics of Democrat leadership.
Chicago’s streets have become a warzone under Democrat control, with motor vehicle theft, aggravated battery, theft, and murder all surging since 2022.
Emanuel’s message was crystal clear: “Safe streets, strong schools, stable finances.” These basic principles of governance have been abandoned by the radical Left in favor of woke ideology.
The former Mayor exposed the dangerous permissiveness that’s infected Democrat-run cities, pointing to the now-common sight of locked-up basic goods at CVS and Walgreens – a direct result of pro-crime policies.
But it’s not just Chicago that’s suffering. From New York to Los Angeles, Democrat-controlled cities are crumbling under the weight of failed liberal policies.
The education crisis in these liberal strongholds should terrify every American parent. Emanuel revealed that eighth-grade reading scores have plummeted to their lowest levels in 30 years.
While China strengthens its position as a global superpower, two-thirds of American children can’t read at an eighth-grade level – a damning indictment of the Left’s priorities.
Instead of addressing these fundamental failures, Democrat leadership remains obsessed with transgender bathroom policies and woke ideology.
Emanuel mockingly exposed the absurdity of these misplaced priorities: “Look, in seventh grade, if I had known that I could have said the word ‘They’ and got in the girls bathroom, I would have done it.”
Left-wing pundit Fareed Zakaria, hardly a conservative voice, admitted the obvious truth: “This is a huge Democrat Party problem. If you look at Democrat cities, they are terribly run.”
President Trump has consistently warned about America’s educational decline, pointing to our embarrassing global ranking of 40th in education standards.
Even more outrageous: America ranks first in spending per pupil while achieving these abysmal results – a testament to the wasteful incompetence of government schools.
The Department of Education has become nothing more than a bloated bureaucracy, failing our children while pushing radical ideologies.
Democrat Mayors across the nation seem more interested in virtue signaling than addressing the basic needs of their citizens.
The result? Our once-great cities have become showcases of liberal failure, with skyrocketing crime rates and plummeting educational standards.
President Trump’s call to overhaul or potentially disband the Department of Education looks increasingly prescient as these failures mount.
The American people deserve better than Democrat leadership that prioritizes woke bathroom policies over basic reading skills.
The crisis in Chicago serves as a warning to the rest of America: This is what happens when you let radical leftists run your cities into the ground.
