It was an awful week for House Democrats.
- A Democrat with ties to Al-Qaeda is still Democrats’ nominee for NJ-12.
- The DCCC is getting pummeled for continuing to take sides in primaries (and losing).
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez was caught screwing over her auto shop employees.
- Kristen McDonald Rivet’s votes for Michigan’s hated toll bridges resurfaced.
- Don Davis was caught (yet again) misusing taxpayer money — this time spending $40K on his office.
