A shake-up is underway at the Democratic National Committee as several key longtime officials have lost their posts, exposing a still-raw rift in the party and igniting anger among those in its progressive wing who see retaliation for their opposition to DNC Chairman Tom Perez.

The removal and demotion of a handful of veteran operatives stood out, as did what critics charge is the over-representation of Clinton-backed members on the Rules and Bylaws Committee.

The DNC denied any retaliation, saying that the changes were an effort to diversify and freshen the party’s leadership and that all the party’s officers had a chance to offer input. They touted new additions like Marisa Richmond, a millennial black transgender activist, and the first Dreamer member, Ellie Perez, to point to the DNC's efforts at diversity.

"This year's slate of at-large DNC member nominees reflects the unprecedented diversity of our party’s coalition," said DNC spokesperson Michael Tyler.

Siperstein, the DNC's first transgender member, said, "I can’t speak for Tom, but you talk about diversity — I’m extremely diverse: Jewish, veteran, transgender, lesbian, grandparent, small-business owner."

NEVER FORGET!

DNC Vote on Platform Change - At 2012 Democrat National Convention, DNC Chair Antonio Villaraigosa holds three votes on reinserting references to “God” and “Jerusulem” back into the Democratic Party platform. The language had been removed from the 2012 Democrat Party

Siperstein, the DNC's first transgender member, said, "I can’t speak for Tom, but you talk about diversity — I’m extremely diverse: Jewish, veteran, transgender, lesbian, grandparent, small-business owner."

These crazed leftists just tack-on slogans and talking points to their names like knighthoods and orders of chivalry given from the Queen of England.

>>Trump’s Fault!<<

This is the best news about the dnc EVAH! If some identity politics got Trump elected in 2016, EXTREME identity politics will lock all 3 branches of government for GENERATIONS!

MAGA!

Of course, we need to do some housecleaning of our own. The GOP swamp needs to be drained, starting with McCain and McConnell.

Gosh, if I could only get to my Photobucket, I have the perfect pic for this. But, alas, they've hijacked my photos.

Is there another photo hosting site that won't charge me an arm and a leg, to use third party pics?

DNC chair announced w/ regrets that Dr. Kermit Grosnell who valiantly defended a womans right to an abortion is not able to join the DNC board b/c he is incarcerated due to aborted babies being born alive.

Genius DNC head---Tom Perez--recently declared abortion-on-demand is "Democrats' ticket to victory." Alas, Democrats lost badly even after Perez's suckup to baby-killing.

Baby slaughter didnt work, so infanticide....perhaps mercy killing of the disabled...... are winning issues? Maybe free beheadings and clitorectomies? That strategy also sucks-up to the Muslim vote.

One name seemed familiar from the list of ousted officials: Alice Germond.

I spend a few minutes with Google, and was able to verify that she was married for 25 years to the late Jack Germond, of the McLaughlin Group.

Politics in DC really does seem incestuous. Journalists are married to party officials, elected officials are married to lobbyists, and they seem to be one happy family allied together against us, the American voters.

OMG, no indigenous persons living in the rain forests of Portland, Oregon?
