Rahm Emanuel Tells CNN’s Tapper Not to Worry About His Future When Asked About His Retirement Proposal: ‘I’m Good, Jake’

EXCERPT:

EMANUEL: “Well, a couple of things. One is, first of all, I think Washington needs a good power washing. People sitting on committees that are trading stock, Supreme Court justices and other court members hearing cases and having taken free trips from them. President of the United States just got a free plane from a foreign government. Clean the place up. And as part of that, 75 across the board, up and out, you‘re done. You have served. You can‘t do the military that way. You can‘t do private sector jobs that way. And don‘t worry about my future. What we should be focused on in Washington, if I go there, the American people‘s future. My future is fine. It don‘t — and don‘t worry about it. It is the future of this country that gets lost in all of Washington‘s special interest politics, that you would sit there, fair question. Oh, it would affect me. I‘m good, Jake. The hits or whatever. For me, it‘s really the American people you have to worry about and their future. And that‘s what they‘re asking you to focus on. And it gets blocked with all the special interests in Washington.”
