Politico is so impressed with how Emanuel eats a ... salad.

I promise you that nothing he has on you is as embarrassing as trying to force this for four years https://t.co/E5trfHxWbX

They are going to do their best to make fetch happen.

This is...how everyone eats a salad. https://t.co/t4nOl5qz6Z

Even Hamas supporter Ben Rhodes agrees this article was just stupid.

I cannot get over how embarrassing this is. Witnessing a normal way of eating salad and writing breathlessly about it as if you just witnessed a miracle https://t.co/fbtgZuVMPA

It doesn't take much to impress journalists at Politico, apparently.

NEW YORK — This is how Ben Dreyfuss eats a salad: He locates the pepper grinder. He gives it a few tentative turns. He picks up the lemon wedge and gives it a gentle squeeze. Then he surveys the lettuce, searching with his fork for a piece that seems manageable, before finally… https://t.co/lUWIpFH73x

The son of Richard Dreyfuss, award winning actor, is not impressed. 

This is how Rahm Emanuel walks:

He extends one foot forward, having his heel touch the ground first.

His body weight shifts onto that foot as it flattens. His knee bends slightly — like he has made so many politicians bend to his will — to absorb the contact.

His body’s center… https://t.co/rjqB8V9wZR

Riveting. 

A story lede fawningly valorizing a politician eating a salad is a good example of why most Americans think elite media is in the tank for politicians — and has no interest in actually holding politicians accountable. https://t.co/ueCIdEItQO

And most Americans are right with the caveat the elite media is in the tank for DEMOCRAT politicians. 

One day I hope to get such glowing profiles for doing absolutely nothinghttps://t.co/ZQPXVD2sNF

Crucial 2028 takeaway here: you all are gonna be reading a lot of @adamwren next coupla yearshttps://t.co/bxA2aPTZrC

That's terrifying news.

This is a method introduced to the world through the Kardashians https://t.co/4Qe1G8XMPO

— Emily Zanotti 🦝 (@emzanotti) March 29, 2026

This family absolutely introduced this technique into the American lexicon.

This is simply the only sensible way to dress a single-serve salad in a plastic container. If the other 2028 candidates do not approach their salads this way, I consider that disqualifying. https://t.co/gzp4bqj22L

Fair enough.

Imagine writing this with a straight face. https://t.co/L5rVCJgbJz
