The AFL-CIO endorsed Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) to take over a Democratic National Committee (DNC) that was rocked by scandal during the 2016 campaign season.

“Ellison meets the high standard working people expect from leaders of our political parties,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said Thursday in a statement. “He is a proven leader who will focus on year-round grassroots organizing to deliver for working families across America. Under his leadership, the Democratic Party will embody the values that our members stand for every day.”

Yeah. It was David Horowitz who called Kristol that.

[On the weekend of February 24, 2017, those 447 or so members of the Democratic National Committee will meet and vote to determine its new leadership. According to the group’s charter, the chair (and eight other leadership officers) will be elected by “a majority vote.”]
