Rahm Just Got Completely Owned By The Onion

The Onion is based out of Chicago, and the staff can often be found making fun of this fair, gun-violence-plagued city. (Or floating poop emoji floaties in an area pool.) Today, they're back at it, taking aim at Mayor Rahm Emanuel with great precision in "Rahm Emanuel Concerned Gun Violence Could Spread To Parts Of City He Gives Shit About", a beautiful paragraph that feels especially on-the-nose after this weekend's fatal shooting at Millennium Park.

We recommend reading the whole thing. Many other publications have tried to put Rahm in his place—GQ named him one of the worst people of 2015, the New Yorker took a pretty vigorous jab at him, and this very website has even talked some shit—but the Onion just does it better than anyone else.
