About Emanuel Cleaver in brief
Emanuel Cleaver II is a United Methodist pastor and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He served as Kansas City Councilman from 1979 to 1991 and as Mayor of Kansas City for two terms from 1991 until 1999. He is a cousin to exiled Kansas City Black Panther leader Pete O’Neal. Cleaver has called for ethics charges against fellow U. S. Representatives Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters to be dropped. He voted for both of two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and is one of only two Missouri representatives in the House to have done so, along with Rep.
Lacy Clay. On September 11, 2014, what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail was thrown through the window of Cleaver’s Kansas City office. He was in Washington D. C. at the time and no staff members were present during the attack. In January 2011, he became chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, a position he held until 2013. He has been recognized as a congressman who is \”not shy about earmarks\” and has brought many tax dollars back to Kansas City. He said in March 2008 that he would not cheer for the Kansas City Chiefs if they beat the Indianapolis Colts.
