In a scathing statement on Wednesday, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York put the Biden administration on notice over the nomination of Rahm Emanuel for the US ambassadorship in Japan.
"This nomination is deeply shameful," AOC said in the statement. "As mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel helped cover up the murder of Laquan McDonald - a mere teenager when he was shot 16 times in the back by a Chicago Police Officer. This alone should be flatly disqualifying for any position of public trust, let alone representing the United States as an ambassador."
