House Democratic Leadership Warns It Will Cut Off Any Firms That Challenge Incumbents
The Intercept ^ | 3/22/19 | Akela Lacy

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee warned political strategists and vendors Thursday night that if they support candidates mounting primary challenges against incumbent House Democrats, the party will cut them off from business.

The news was officially announced Friday morning, paired with a statement on the committee’s commitment to diversity in consulting — “which, obviously, is just to give themselves cover,” a Democratic political consultant who learned of it Thursday told The Intercept. The consultant asked for anonymity given their relationship with the DCCC, and the party organization’s professed strategy of blacklisting firms that don’t fall in line.

This is unethical business practices. The treat of this alone is ILLEGAL. But then I regress I forgot Democrats can do anything they want.

Can? Yes. No political organization is compelled to use firms that advance a contrary message. Wise? Hmmmmm. Watch the Twilight Zone episode “The Mirror” with Peter Falk.

Whenever someone talks about diversity you know they plan to hurt you.

Isn’t that pretty much the textbook example of racketeering?

just like any communist government.

The “Party” and it’s apparatchiks are the ones control power and those that wield the levers of power.

NO ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED.

This is also a shot across the bow at AOC. She has outright said she’s making a list of moderate Dems to primary.

In 2016, DWS, the DNC, and clinton did it covertly and probably robbed Sanders of the nomination. He was drawing thousands, while she could barely get a high school gymnasium filled. Now, they’re in the open and in your face, telling all that they make the rules and if you don’t play by them, you’re done.

They’re scared that there are going to be more Ocasio-Cortez’s, Omar, Tlaib’s and Pressley’s, coming out of the woodworks. And they’re probably right.

She’s going to run again. If they have to put her in one of those exo-skeleton suits to enable her to walk, my money is she’s going to run. She’ll take out the entire field this time, like she took out Sanders. And then, the 3rd Party is formed and that’s all she wrote. These people are insane.

“Can this be done? Sounds illegal to me but I am not a legal scholar “

Since when does doing something illegal bother the RATs? Only when Trump finally remakes the Judiciary with his appointments to the Federal Bench will the RATs be forced to “modify” their behavior. Until they start going to jail in significant numbers, this $hit will continue.

Racketeering requires illegal activities. Where is this illegal?

Who cares if this is legal? It’s the Dem’s. They don’t care about inconsequential things like, legality.

But, let them eat each other. They’re going to tear each other’s throats out. And it’ll be awesome to watch.
