Fmr. Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel on DSA Candidates: Turning a Blue District Midnight Blue Does Not Give You the Gavel

RUSH EXCERPT:
EMANUEL: "Or you say look I I welcome that. I think that this is true. The party there’s a progressive and a pragmatic wing we’ll have good policy debates.

I am a former ballet dancer, I’m pretty flexible, I’m not that flexible. And I’ll just say this up front. Eight weeks ago, in Chicago. They had a party convention. It’s, not a caucus, a wing of the party convention when they change their position on defunding the police, which is not the party position of the Democrats. They change their position, opening up prisons and letting people prisoners out. They change their position about open borders, we’ll have a discussion, but that is not the policy positions of the Democratic Party.”
