Yeah, when they specifically solicit help from the federal government... This was a heavy-handed threat on twitter. Everything about it was scummy.
Asked to respond to Mr. Annoying Orange’s tweet, a spokesman for Mayor Rahm Emanuel said that the mayor had spoken, several times, on how the federal government could help address the city’s violence — and had done so earlier Tuesday evening on a local TV news program.
Eddie Johnson, Chicago’s police superintendent, issued a statement: “As the mayor said just a few hours ago, the Chicago Police Department is more than willing to work with the federal government to build on our partnerships with D.O.J., F.B.I., D.E.A. and A.T.F. and boost federal prosecution rates for gun crimes in Chicago.”
earlier tweet from Annoying Orange says
Chicago murder rate is record setting - 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016. If Mayor can't do it he must ask for Federal help!
this isn't a forced thing, he just makes it sound like it is because he's terrible with words
we're talking about Donald "Covfefe" Annoying Orange here
