The head of Chicago’s police union demanded Wednesday that Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., retract his weekend assertion that it’s “the sworn enemy of black people.”

Chicago Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 President Kevin Graham said Rush’s comment was “wholly baseless and is in fact a slanderous remark which meets the textbook legal definition of defamation.”

Rush, 72, made the comments after an April 1 demonstration by members of the union protesting the decision by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to drop charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.
