Rahm Emanuel to Democratic Socialists: ‘If You Want to Join Us, Get Rid of Your Positions’

‘Our positions are not for defunding the police’

EXCERPT:

EMANUEL: "But they had a — they had a party convention. Not a caucus meeting, a party convention. They’re a separate party. They’re for defunding the police, open borders, open prisons, and eliminating the Pentagon. That’s not our position as Democrats. My view is, if you’re so confident people want this, I’ll see you in November. Now, the second thing is, you want to join us, get rid of your positions. Our positions are not for defunding the police. Our positions are for a strong border. Our position is not for eliminating the Pentagon, but the professionalism, as we were talking at the early part of the show, Jen, that is shown by the men and women, the true 1% who volunteered to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States and execute our national security interests. Those are not our party positions."
