The above title says it all.
Here, from (very surprisingly) a Washington Post article (via msn.com) by Justine McDaniel and Mariana Alfaro, are the particulars:
The Democratic National Committee workers’ union on Monday condemned layoffs by the organization, saying permanent employees were terminated last week with one day’s notice and no severance pay.
While staff jobs at campaign offices routinely end after elections, the DNC laid off permanent employees, including people who had been told their positions would continue after the election, the staff union said in a statement.
As the party reels from election losses that cost it the presidency and majorities in both congressional chambers, grapples with questions about its identity and prepares to decide who will lead it as Donald Trump returns to the White House, the layoffs inject internal turmoil into the DNC’s post-election reboot. The union hinted at discord, alleging that people in the organization had made decisions during the campaign that “created this situation.”
“The DNC’s senior leadership has chosen to leave loyal staff scrambling to cover rent, medical expenses and childcare costs,” the union’s statement said.
The cuts were announced starting on Wednesday night and were effective Friday; and DNC leaders did not tell staff how the layoffs were determined or whether additional cuts are planned, according to the union. Those laid off included people who had been with the organization for 40 years, the union said.
Weren’t the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz ticket and its media acolytes bragging to us for months about how much money the presidential campaign received in contributions; how much more than the Trump/Vance ticket got? Didn’t the campaign amass well over a billion dollars which, in addition to massively supportive mainstream media, was supposed to put Donald Trump out to pasture?
Well where did that money go? What the eff did they spend it on? It certainly wasn’t on anything victorious, given that the result was an electoral landslide for Trump/Vance.
How much money was handed over to entertainment and media people (Oprah Winfrey’s production company and al sharpton to name two) for celebrity glitz, while, apparently, little or none was held for the people whose names you never hear – the ones putting in all those hours to try and help their party win? How could they screw their own people this badly?
This is truly disgusting.
But, then again, it is also Democrat, not Republican. So expect most of our media to give it the one-or-two-days-and-out treatment (if even that long).
Doubt me? Let’s wait those couple of days and see.
