Mayor Rahm Emanuel says he sends his kids to private school in Hyde Park and doesn't put them in campaign commercials because "adolescence is hard enough without your father f------ it up for ya."
The mayor took issue with the word "strategically" being in a question about his kids going to a private school in Hyde Park.
“Let me tell you something. My kids are not a tool. … I send my kids to a school based on its education. Have you ever seen my kids in a commercial? I want you to understand my values,” Emanuel said.
“The values [aren't] … ‘Do you send them ‘strategically.’ … As a father it gives them a good education, and most importantly, given what they’ve done with the president's children, they allow them to be children. Adolescence is hard enough without your father f------ it up for ya. … I’m just making you understand what makes me tick. It allows our kids to have quality education without messing up their education.”
