Mayor Emanuel: I Rub Some People the Wrong Way

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel tackled his difficult reputation head on with a campaign advert admitting that he had rubbed some people the wrong way. Emanuel will face a run-off vote against Jesus Garcia on April 7 after failing to gain 50% of voters in the February 25 poll. Emanuel’s education agenda has proved controversial with some Chicago voters and angered teaching unions.

“They say your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness and I’m living proof of that,’ said Emanuel. “I can rub people the wrong way, I can talk when I should listen, I own that but I’m driven to make a difference.” Credit: YouTube/Rahm Emanuel
