The drumbeat for Democratic National Committee boss Tom Perez to be “held accountable” for recent party failures appears to be getting louder.

The latest Democrats to criticize Perez include U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; and Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., all backers of 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Recent party setbacks have included the vote-count fiasco at Monday’s Iowa caucuses and Tuesday night’s disclosure that two officials on the host committee of the party’s upcoming national convention in Milwaukee had been fired over non-specified allegations that they oversaw a work environment where staff members were not being “respected.”

Previously, Democrats such as former Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Rep. Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Washington state Democratic chairwoman Tina Podlodowski and party strategist Neil Sroka spoke out against Perez’s leadership.

“He doesn’t lead on anything,” Fudge told Politico.

On Friday, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Jayapal shared their views on the party chairman.

“What’s happened in Iowa is a complete disgrace and someone needs to be held responsible,” Ocasio-Cortez said outside the U.S. Capitol, according to the outlet. “I think there’s a conversation needed around taking responsibility for Iowa and ensuring that this bungled process never happens again.”

“I would say Tom Perez should be held accountable for this failure,” Omar told The Hill. “I believe it all starts from the top. These are things that Tom should do and should have done. If this was happening in my home state, we would be having a very serious conversation about what accountability would look like for our own chair."

Isn't she the one who married her brother?

[ronnie raygun]

Why is she still in our congress? When htier tactics fail against trump they turn inward and eat their own, love it

[Jimmy Valentine]

This is shaping up like a Stalinist purge. Going to be a lot of political blood shed .

[VTenigma]

She’s not wrong, but none of these commies should be trusted with the keys to a lemonade stand.

[existentially_kuffer]

Interesting too. Pelosi is silent.

[cgbg]

Perez etal are just getting warmed up—they have a full-blown crime spree planned for this primary season.

They won’t stop until they are taken away in cuffs...

[Nifster]

Stupid people. Look closely at the ...”it starts at the top...” comment. These people want an authoritarian leadership vested in one person (aka dictatorship)

[Nifster]

She is wrong. Local people run these campaigns not the national organization. Perhaps you need to find out more about how party politics work

[Gene Eric]

Eh? How is Perez responsible?

[Artemis Webb]

Did “local people” design and contract for the statewide used Shadow app? If they didn’t then I guess you aren’t as smart as you think you are.

[Jimmy Valentine]

At this point Pelosy is trying to survive what’s coming.

[Drango]

The left eating the left. Need more popcorn.

[gasport]

“The left eating the left.”

How can I offer a helping hand?

[blueplum]

Oh, the Shadow knows. It's just becoming difficult to cover up the fix they put in for butt butt.

Yeah, it’d be like you running our economy, knucklehead.
