What They Are Saying: DCCC’s “Undemocratic” Drama
In case you missed it, progressives, Latinos and Democrat members of Congress are FUMING over the DC Democrat establishment meddling in primaries.
We’re compiling all the backlash for your convenience, see here (with some of our favs below). ☺️
Several House Democrats expressed “bafflement at individual endorsements”.
The Working Families Party issued a full statement, saying the Dem establishment is “again putting its thumb on the scale, not to support the stronger candidate, but the candidate who will bend to party leadership and its corporate donors.”
Progressive Rep. Ro Khanna took to X declaring “democratic primary voters should pick the nominee, not DC insiders.”
The Progressive Caucus weighed in, too: “We disagree with the DCCC’s decision to attempt to tip the scales.”
BOLD PAC, the campaign committee of the Hispanic Caucus, dissed the DCCC completely, saying, “We will be with Randy [CA-22] and Carol [PA-07] every step of the way through their primaries.”
Even David Hogg piled on!
“[T]he Democratic establishment is wasting resources in primaries to prop up weak candidates.”
All in all, yesterday was a nightmare for the Dems, and it looks like that was just the tip of the iceberg…
