Harris Wofford, a former U.S. senator and long-time Democratic political operative who ran AmeriCorps from 1995 to 2001, died last week at the age of 92. The New York Times hailed Wofford as “America’s volunteer in chief” and Clinton administration fixer Paul Begala saluted him as “a pragmatic idealist” who “believed in progress, not perfection.” Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson gushed, “Cynicism melted around Wofford as if he were a bonfire in the snow.”

HORRIBLE LEFTY!
Good...one less RAT
So, turns out he was a poofter, coming out after his wife died:

Get rid of the entire program It’s designed to turn it’s young participants into lifelong Democrats. Just like the Peace Corps.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner!
The seeds that Wofford helped sow are sprouting toxic new briar patches. Last week, the congressionally-created National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service announced that it was “exploring what a program that requires every American to complete a dedicated period of military, national, or public service might look like.” The commission, which lavished praise on AmeriCorps, is headed by former congressman Joe Heck (who was defeated in a 2016 senate race), who says the goal is to “create a universal expectation of service” by young people. USA Today noted that “Heck would not rule out some form of all-inclusive service.”
