Remember earlier this week when Rahm Emanuel lit into Jussie Smollett and his legal team? Remember when we cautioned against getting too excited about Rahm Emanuel being right about this one thing?

Yeah, well, this is why:

Rahm Emanuel blames Donald Trump's "toxic environment" for Jussie Smollett "The only reason Jussie Smollett thought he could take advantage of a hoax about a hate crime is for the environment, the toxic environment that Donald Trump created.” https://t.co/VFynWrenZ6 pic.twitter.com/ekrdaLFqW7 — Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) March 29, 2019

So Rahm’s got that in common with Smollett, then.

Turns out the reason for Jussie Smollett's hoax is the same as the reason for the 'attack' when people thought it was real. https://t.co/cNcv4wdWcc — Jeryl Bier (@JerylBier) March 29, 2019

Funny how that works.

Welp.

Liberal politicians saying certain voters and citizens aren’t allowed in their district is a sight to behold. https://t.co/zQQtW0X79D — EducatëdHillbilly™ (@RobProvince) March 29, 2019

Well it only took a few days but somehow this is all Trump's fault. — JZ (@JZ618) March 29, 2019

I’m not big on Trump, but this makes zero sense pic.twitter.com/JRCUeeibJ4 — A???? (@LVaces004) March 29, 2019

Don’t say we didn’t warn you. At the end of the day, Rahm Emanuel is still Rahm Emanuel.

There he is — TJRodriguez (@visrod) March 29, 2019

There’s the Rahm we know — JARED (@therealjbkay) March 29, 2019

Aaaaaaand there is the Rahm we know and hate. — M Peterson (@maptokyo) March 29, 2019

It was just a matter of time before the real Rahm Emanuel would show up. — Terry Kern (@crapsplayer58) March 29, 2019

I knew Rahm couldn't make it that long doing the right thing. He was doing so well and then he went all Rahm on us. Trump's fault???….omg. The fact that people are blaming anyone but Jussie for this is why Jussie thought he could get away with it. — Turbo (@turbocheetoh) March 29, 2019
