AOC, Omar, Jayapal say DNC boss Tom Perez should be ‘held accountable’ for Iowa failure (still counting)

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.

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.”

“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.”

Just talked to my buddy who does local news in IA. He said the national DNC forced the use of the new app. He said the Caucus he was at that afternoon and by 5:00 PM their caucus captain (or whatever he is) already knew the app did NOT work.

This fact plays well into the theory that the national DNC were working behind the scenes to ENSURE Bernie did not emerge Monday night with a victory and momentum going into New Hampshire.

Perhaps you should look for an app called “shadow” developed by a company called ACRONYM, and how that dovetails with the abject DNC failure.

It is now known (and traveling fast to Dem insiders) that counting methods and the app were forced on Iowa Dems by Tom Perez.

Here’s an Iowa Dem insider whistleblowing in a local radio interview:

If you were a Democrat, three years ago, whom would you have supported for DNC chairman? I would have hoped that they’d choose Sander Levin. He was a chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party, and he was a congressman.

Good. Because AOC is a Voice of Authority to most of the spineless turds in the rat party. She pushed spineless turd nancy into impeachment and I hope she pushes other spineless turds into not blocking bernie.
