Rahm Emanuel’s tone seems to be overlooking his role as Chief of Staff in the Obama Administration that ensured no one was held accountable for the Iraq War and the 2008 financial crisis.
On CNN, Rahm Emanuel admits a refusal to hold Iraq War proponents accountable for their lies & a refusal to hold Wall St accountable for the financial crisis created big problems for Dems.
Emanuel was literally the chief of staff of the Obama White House that decided to hold nobody accountable.
