No, not Joe Manchin, nor even the twisted wannabe punk Kyrsten Sinema.<\/p>\n
I am talking, of course about Rahm Israel Emanuel, a politician so contemptible that he was run out of the Chicago Mayor’s office on a rail. <\/p>\n
There seems to be no level of evil and stupidity he won’t support, so now he’s cast his lot against raising the minimum wage<\/a>, which is arguably the most beneficial, and is certainly the most politically popular policy initiative in the United States today: <\/p>\n As disgraced<\/a> former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel reportedly<\/a> keeps floating his name for a Biden administration appointment, he is recycling an old Republican plan to let states opt out of a higher minimum wage. Now, he is slated to headline the annual conference of one of the major corporate lobbying groups fighting against congressional Democrats\u2019 $15 minimum wage legislation. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The National Restaurant Association, the lobbying group which led the fight to block a minimum wage increase in the COVID-19 relief bill passed last month, will be hosting Emanuel as a keynote speaker<\/a> for the group\u2019s virtual conference on April 20, an event entitled: \u201cSeeking Unity: Conversations on How We Can Come Together.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n
