The Rahm Emanuel I know: Separating caricature from character

Steve talks about the Rahm Emanuel he knows - a man who many people know by “reputation” but a man of principles that he is not willing to sell out to win votes or pander to the special interest groups that have unduly influenced the Democratic Party over the last 8 years. He saved the best for last when he said this:

“He has a brawling reputation because he’s willing to take on the hardest battles: big banks, gun manufacturers, insurance companies. Going toe to toe, even with nine and a half fingers.

Again, whether or not he runs remains to be seen. But one thing is clear in both caricature and character: Democrats need candidates who know how to fight and win if we’re to defeat MAGA.”
