Just a week before Chicago residents vote for their new Mayor, leading candidate Rahm Emanuel became the target of anti-Semitic attacks, NBC Chicago reported on Tuesday.
According the report, fliers of the former White House chief of staff were distributed at the Red Line Chicago station in Chicago reading “I will run Chicago as I ran Freddie Mac, PROFITABLE (for me, me, me) thirty millions$$$$$$. I was entitled to it, being a Holocaust survivor (I mean my family).”
NBC also reported that Emanuel, was targeted by Mayoral candidate Carol Moseley Braun who compared his campaign ads to the comic character in the film “The Producers” who wrote a play in favor of Hitler.
