Statement From Mayor Emanuel on Illinois Policy Institute Cartoon
Mayor's Press Office 312.744.3334
“The governor should be embarrassed for turning a blind eye to what is plain for everyone to see. The cartoon issued by the governor's allies at the Illinois Policy Institute is unambiguously racist. We can give no quarter to racism, and there can be no justification for leaders unwilling to stand up and call out racist acts. For a man so eager to speak his mind so often, the governor's silence is deafening.”
