Billionaire Who Backs Rahm Emanuel Also A Big GOP Donor

Groups supporting Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's (D) re-election received $750,000 this month from a conservative hedge fund founder who also has given money to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) and conservative groups.

Ken Griffin, CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, has donated nearly $1 million to pro-Emanuel groups in the last year, including $750,000 since March 2, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Griffin has also contributed to Walker, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.). Schock, under fire for lavish spending, said on Tuesday that he would resign from Congress. Since last year, Griffin has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars American Crossroads, America Rising, the Republican National Committee and other conservative groups.

Its the education gutting which is really upsetting and on the Maddow show she had on a 15 year old guest and she spoke correctly about the issue and was right it is about education, and they want a voice, ( even though it was not in Chicago), and her teacher was over whelmed that in this country it is about education and young and old alike are very concern and its not about politics and the present mayor of Chicago has done this, gut education and supported for profit charter schools for politics, and this is wrong, he is nothing more than a corporatist
