ANOTHER SCANDAL AT THE DNC
Powerline ^ | February 7,2020 | BY JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 02/07/2020 7:22:21 PM PST by Hojczyk

Late Tuesday, the board for the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee terminated President Liz Gilbert and her chief of staff, Adam Alonso. The move comes just one day after the board suspended the pair and launched an investigation into “toxic workplace” allegations.

Alonso and Gilbert had previously come under criticism for continuing to do work for New Jersey Democrats while leading the host committee full time.

The New Jersey Democratic Party connection does not inspire a lot of confidence.

In interviews, the two experienced political hands described the host committee as having a toxic culture rife with power struggles, backbiting and mismanagement.

They accused Gilbert and Alonso of giving contracts to their friends in New Jersey, calling meetings and then failing to attend them and being more focused on accumulating power than promoting Milwaukee.

That is easy to believe.

Sources said it appears that these current and former employees have been emboldened to speak out after Alonso was accused in his home state of New Jersey of shaking down campaign contributors for his own consulting firm, the Cratos Group.

Julie Roginsky, a former strategist for New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, said Murphy’s gubernatorial campaign operation was “toxic” and that she experienced “rank misogyny.”

Hmmm, sounds like Dhimmicrats to me.

I honestly don’t see how they survive. Every day brings a new flop or fail, and nobody is even trying to ferret out the real corruption that we know is going on. And we know there are storm clouds building over Durham’s office...

And a half dozen or so people (I think people of color) quit the Liz Warren campaign because it was a toxic environment.

Makes sense.

Warren is a VERY toxic person!

If you put the democrats and their staffs into a situation where they have to comingle without a target, they will do just nicely attacking each other. They know not to trust each other for 10 seconds. Within an hour they will have formed their classic formation of the circular firing squad.

Hopefully, we will see a lot of democrat circular firing squads for the next 5+ years.

Got to concur, and needless to say it is a problem.

The only difference between this year and previous election years is someone complained. This is how the Dems are

As soon as I read that Milwaukee was the site of the DNC Circus I knew that it would be a Foxtrot Uniform. Milwaukee is run by “Amish” that had NO concept of what they were about to invite to the City. The result will make “The Chicago Circus” look like a Sunday School picnic.

Too bad Milwaukee doesn’t have a couple battalions of the Chicago cops from ‘68.
