The charges against Jussie Smollett have been dismissed — despite all the evidence against him — and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is fit to be tied. We’re not joking … he is mad as hell:
Rahm Emanuel on Smollett: "You have a person using hate crime laws that are on the books to protect people who are minorities from violence, to then turn around and use those laws to advance your career and your financial reward, is there no decency in this man?"

WOW. @rahnemanuel: "From top to bottom, this is not on the level … There needs to be a level of accountability throughout the system, and this sends an ambiguous message that there is no accountability and that is wrong."

Mayor Emanuel on Smollett: "Is there no decency in this man?"
Asked if prosecutors' decision was political, Emanuel says to ask them, doesn't deny it.
Emanuel reminds us of the letter that started it all, says Smollett used his race and sexual orientation for self promotion.

In this particular situation, it’s tough to blame him.
Rahm Emanuel is furious. #ChicagoPD is furious.
They should be.
This is nuts. https://t.co/VFokeyfLVM— Michelle Ray (@GaltsGirl) March 26, 2019
Rahm Emanuel has every right to be as infuriated as he is. So many man hours spent on this. Video of the two men buying the exact supplies used in the “attack” and a check signed by Smollett paying them. This is privilege at work, he and PD Supt. Johnson are right to call it out.

What’s happened with Jussie Smollett can most definitely not be called “justice.”
The Left has gone so far off script that they've got Rahm Emanuel speaking sensibly.
What a time to be alive. https://t.co/aeEtSAvkJU

We must be in Bizarro World because I agree with Rahm Emanuel

Shoutout to Jussie Smollett for making me cheer for Rahm Emanuel.

WTF I love Rahm Emmanuel now!?

My God.
Rahm Emmanuel just spoke for me.
That just happened.

Well, maybe slow that roll just a little bit …
This is pretty rich coming from a guy that owes his entire political career to machine politics in a one-party city, county, and state. https://t.co/8zFoUcfrQH
