Rahm Emanuel run off stage by angry protesters playing by Chicago rules

Chicago mayor and former presidential wingman, Rahm Emanuel was finally getting around to addressing the Windy City’s abysmal financial situation when a group of angry protesters showed up to run him off stage.

After four years, Emanuel decided this week was finally the week to address that pesky little thing called a budget — in a city ruined by decades of Democrat rule — and attempted to hold a hearing Wednesday night.

Only protesters were waiting for him and interrupted the forum by demanding answers about the closing of a neighborhood high school.

Dyett High School hasn’t reopened its doors since June after low test scores and enrollment rates put the school’s future at risk.

The Dyett protests have been part of an ongoing hunger strike aimed at city leadership to keep the school open. The strike has been gaining attention and was recently called a “deepening health emergency in our city,” by local medical professionals, the Huffington Post reported.

“Remains backstage” must be code for “hiding.”

Mayor Rahm Emanuel now conferring backstage with adviser David Spielfogel. Unclear whether he’ll come back out and continue the hearing.

And “conferring” must be code for, “how am I gonna weasel out of this one.”

Oh, here’s how! It seems Rahm didn’t really need the meeting after all.

This morning it was announced that the Chicago mayor came up with a not so innovative idea that will ultimately drive out the last taxpaying citizens still residing within city.

In order to help tackle budget woes, Emanuel announced the largest property tax hike in Chicago modern history.
