Rahm Emanuel Meets His Imposter
politico.com


The real Rahm Emanuel met the fake Rahm Emanuel in person on Wednesday to conduct a bit of unfinished business. And, no, there wasn’t any cursing — just an exchange of $5,000 to fulfill a promise Emanuel made to get his Twitter impersonator to finally reveal himself.

Just a week after Emanuel won the Chicago mayoral race, Dan Sinker (aka @mayoremanuel) did indeed come forward.

So, Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff, kept his word and donated the money (per Sinker’s request) to “Young Chicago Authors,” a program which encourages children in Chicago public schools to do more creative writing.
