Tom Perez Apologizes for Telling the Truth, Showing Why Democrats' Flaws Urgently Need Attention

Perez unexpectedly blurted out a truth that party functionaries to this day steadfastly bury and deny even in the face of the mountain of evidence proving it. This is what Perez said:

We heard loudly and clearly yesterday from Bernie supporters that the process was rigged and it was. And you’ve got to be honest about it. That’s why we need a chair who is transparent. ....

He quickly slinked onto Twitter with a series of tweets to retract what he said, claim that he “misspoke” (does anyone know what that word means?), apologize for it, and proclaim Hillary Clinton the fair and rightful winner:

Hillary became our nominee fair and square, and she won more votes in the primary—and general—than her opponents.

NOTE: The author criticizes both right and left, and I certainly do not agree with everything he says, but I read his articles and sometimes find interesting ideas.

The title of the article reminds me of O'Malley's apology for saying "All lives matter."

Nice that Perez is putting on a happy face.

Heck, it’s downright disconcerting for guileless Democrats to observe that Obama seems to delight in destruction.....whether its going after Republicans....or failing to come to the aid of his own down-and-out party.

Even level-headed Sen Schumer is becoming unhinged.

The poor, poor man (sob).

Everybody knows the realization that your own president stabbed his party in the back is heart-breaking (sniffle).

Sen Schumer is broken-hearted b/c Obama handed his famous state-of-the-art presidential election campaign apparat – the data, the staff, the fundraising – to his non-profit Organizing for Action — NOT to the needy Democratic Party — as a loyal party member would be expected to do.

More troubling for broken-hearted Sen Schumer is the realization that eight years after Obama came into office, the once-proud Democratic Party is decimated at every level of federal, state and local government.

Democrats are mired in failure, thanks to putting their complete trust in Obama.
