The frosty relationship between the two macho men might cause anyone caught in the middle to catch a chill.
"I haven't spoken to the mayor since last December 1st," said a visibly upset McCarthy in an interview with WGN-TV Ch. 9 on Friday. "I ran into him a couple of times at the East Bank Club."
Asked if he wanted to speak to Emanuel, he said, "Um, that's a great question. I'm not sure how to answer it. You stumped me because I'm really angry about what happened, and I'm very angry about what is happening.
"I would give him an earful if we were to have a conversation."
McCarthy — who was fired a year ago in the wake of the release of the video of police Officer Jason Van Dyke killing Laquan McDonald, 17 — has always worn his heart on his sleeve and in recent weeks has made a number of public statements defending his record and criticizing the police policies he says are contributing to Chicago's soaring homicide rate. More than 700 killings were recorded in the first 11 months of 2016.
Yet even by his standards, Friday's appearance was emotionally raw, with McCarthy baring his bruised ego for all to see.
