SO FILE CHARGES: ‘Abusive’: BuzzFeed Reporter Claims Rahm Emanuel Physically Assaulted Him During Heated Interview. “Hastings said that he has interviewed ‘terrorist leaders…dictators…a lot of politicians…a lot of angry people,’ but that no one had ever put their hands on him. The journalist also claimed that Emanuel didn’t seem to be ‘in full control of what he was doing’ during the exchange.” See, I think one reason why these people support gun control is that they assume everyone else is as unstable as they are.
