Rahm Emanuel has been known as “The Godfather” since the days of the Clinton administration, where he served as a personal aide to the president.
According to newspaper accounts, in 1992, at a dinner celebrating Clinton’s first election victory, Emanuel reportedly took a steak knife and plunged it into the table as he spoke out the names of people he considered to be disloyal during the election, shouting “Dead!Dead! Dead!” after each name – reminiscent of a scene from the movie.
