AOC calls on Senate to reject Rahm Emanuel as Japan ambassador

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday urged the Senate to vote down President Biden's nomination of Rahm Emanuel to serve as U.S. ambassador to Japan, citing his handling of the police killing of Laquan McDonald as mayor of Chicago.

I sincerely hope and PRAY that Rahm Emanuel is, for the sake of the USA, rejected by Congress!

Wow first time I ever actually agreed with her on something.

[emiebex]

He couldn't even run Chicago, why does anyone think he could be an ambassador to Japan?

[hellavadeal]

WOW!!! something she said I actually agree with.

[totallyfrozen]

A broken watch is right twice a day. I can agree with AOC on this.

[DeathDOer]

[pookiewookie]

He's a despicable person. So he'll probably get the confirmation

[BurntheKremlin]

Anti corruption agenda !!!

Well, once again a lesson from saying, never! I never thought I would agree with anything that she says, but, this time I agree.

As the former Mayor of one of the most violent cities in the first world, he's to become Ambassador of Japan, one of the safest countries in the world? This has more to do with alienating Japan and their number one trading partner, China.

Failing up. Only in Govt thats a career path

[nunupon]

Why is he trying to touch Japan? Keep your sunburnt paws OFF

[transparentglazier]

I think that girl gymnast would make a better ambassador, she can flip, spin, balance and deflect as good as anyone

[timmyyoo]
