Rev. Al Sharpton defends Kim Foxx on Jussie Smollett case by hammering Mayor Emanuel on Laquan McDonald shooting
The Rev. Al Sharpton portrayed Mayor Rahm Emanuel as a hypocrite Saturday for criticizing Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s handling of the Jussie Smollett case when the mayor long was silent on the police murder of Laquan McDonald.
For days, Emanuel has been sharply criticizing the decision by Foxx’s office to allow Smollett to walk in the case, after Chicago police collected evidence that showed the “Empire” actor allegedly staged a racist and homophobic attack on himself. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Sharpton described Emanuel’s behavior as “Hypocrisy 101.”
“The reason this is of national significance to me, there is a marked difference between how they reacted to this and how they reacted to the Laquan McDonald case. They were not outraged when the video was withheld until after the mayor’s election,” Sharpton said of Emanuel, police Superintendent Eddie Johnson and other top police officials. “There was a fox in the henhouse then, but the fox wasn’t Kim then. The name of that fox was whoever was in the mayor’s race.”
Emanuel spokesman Matt McGrath said, “This isn’t worthy of a response.”
