Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel blamed President Donald Trump in a press conference Thursday for the alleged hate hoax carried out by Empire Jussie Smollett, claiming that the president created a “toxic” and “vicious” cycle for which the star thought he could get away with the purportedly staged attack on himself.
“Look, I’ve always said from day one this is a Trump-free zone, the city of Chicago, and I mean it,” Emanuel told reporters. “Let me be really clear about something: The only reason Jussie Smollett thought he could take advantage of a hoax about a hate crime is for the environment, the toxic environment Donald Trump created.”
“This is a president who drew a moral equivalency between people who are trying to perpetuate bigotry and those who are trying to fight bigotry,” the mayor continued. “As somebody who started his own journey in politics fighting the neo-Nazis in Skokie and Marquette Park, President Trump should literally take his politics, move it aside.”

The Democrats, Obama and Soros got to him and made him change his mind when the FBI took over. Emanuel is still a crooked Democrat. He knows who put him in power.
Of course everything is trumps fault
Rahm - SHUT UP. Worry about your sh*tty city Chicago, murder capital of the country, rather than lobbing pot shots at the President about an actor.
Dems will blame Trump for the time Adam took a bite out of the apple.
What is Rahm afraid of if the FBI and DOJ get involved. His statements were a distraction from the truth in other words - he was in on it.
Trump entered office talking about love. The dems created all the hate by publicly calling for disruption and protests. They even pay people to protest. The liberals are to blame for the mayhem in America today. All because they are sore losers and afraid of what may be revealed by Republicans.
