DNC replaces two Vermont delegates - because they're men
Washington Examiner ^ | July 21, 2016 | Ashe Schow

Posted on 07/21/2016 2:07:20 PM PDT by Zakeet

The Democratic National Convention ordered the state party of Vermont to replace two delegates — because they're men.

State Sen. Tim Ashe and party insider Ken Dean were ordered to be replaced by the DNC so that the party could achieve a gender balance. Dean and Ashe have filed a formal complaint with the DNC's credentials committee, according to the Associated Press.

Dean and Ashe were elected by the people of Vermont to serve as delegates on June 11. Everything was fine until July 5, when the DNC ordered the state party to replace the two men with women.

This is not gender balance, it's a false attempt by the DNC to make the party appear more balanced than it is. The people wanted these two men, who are both well-known and respected in the state, to go to the convention. Instead, they will be replaced by two women for the sake of gender balance.

This shows what a sham the DNC's alleged moral high ground on gender issues is.

I rather doubt the Donks have that many real men to begin with ... but in any case, this article serves to remind us of the type of circus that's going to take place next week ...

I’m taking a much needed vacation from the media next week. Nothing but beach, beers and barbecue. Ping me if something good happens.

A concept foreign to the Democrat Party.

Good one. I wonder how much trouble an aggressive defense of these two men could make for the DNC, particularly in the media?

Appreciate you posting this. The selection of delegates to the democrat convention has been a favorite subject of mine for some time. It actually extends further than your article indicates. Each state delegation is given “goal” which it must meet to include male/female balance, minority representation, etc. Each state has to perform a survey and determine the mix of races, genders, etc and ensure that their delegates match that mix.

You will see countless democrats on TV discussing how their delegates are representative of the nation. Not one TV reporter will ask about the quota system the democrats use to achieve their ‘balance’. It does give you an idea of how democrats would prefer to run things.

We already know they are not! Nobody who is in the DNC is balanced.
