Shakeup at Democratic National Committee, Longtime Officials Ousted
NBC (fake news) ^ | 10-18-17 | ALEX SEITZ-WALD

The removal and demotion of a handful of veteran operatives stood out, as did what critics charge is the over-representation of Clinton-backed members on the Rules and Bylaws Committee, which helps set the terms for the party's presidential primary, though other Sanders and Ellison backers remain represented.

Those who have been pushed out include:

Ray Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic chairman and longtime DNC official who ran against Perez for chair before backing Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., lost his spots on the Executive Committee and DNC Rules Committee;

James Zogby, the president of the Arab American Institute and prominent Sanders backer, is no longer co-chair of the Resolutions Committee and is off the Executive Committee, a sport he has held since 2001;

Alice Germond, the party’s longtime former secretary and a vocal Ellison backer, who was removed from her at-large appointment to the DNC; and Barbra Casbar Siperstein, the first transgender member of the DNC who supported Ellison and Buckley, was tossed from the Executive Committee.

Maybe; they could also be looking to put forth a panel of straight white people to deceive voters for the mid-terms and 2020. Obama’s “coalition” is done; too many blacks lost faith in the Dems. They need BJ Clinton’s coalition (though it is probably too late for that); they must address the issues in the upper Midwest, as their coastal bastions delivered in 2016 while the upper Midwest didn’t.

Is this more like the Trotsky ax murder or Hitler wiping out the Brown Shirts?

To Perez belongs the spoils. Leftward lurch? Should help Trump.

Sounds like the Sanders/Ellison people are being purged - DNC trying to avoid going further left - wonder what their voters will think about the move......

They touted new additions like Marisa Richmond, a millennial black transgender activist, and the first DREAMer member, Ellie Perez, to point to the DNC's efforts at diversity. "This year's slate of at-large DNC member nominees reflects the unprecedented diversity of our party’s coalition," said DNC spokesperson Michael Tyler.

Other than the little detail that they all think alike...

It’s not pretty.

Watch youtube video of a well-known former ‘progressive’ explaining HOW HIS EYES WERE OPENED - it’s telling. He’s becoming one of us... Bye bye democrats.

More than a Rat Fight. It is a fight between two extremist factions within the DNC.

Perez represents the Hispanic/Marxist faction while Ellison represents the Moslem/Marxist faction. Each is vying for the leadership of their ethnic/religious brethren.

Perez is more dangerous since his Marxism is linked with leftist Hispanic movements throughout Latin America, esp. over immigration.

Ellison wants the Moslem vote in order to destroy Trump’s travel ban security restrictions.

Zogby represents an amalgam of Islamic Marxists and American leftist Moslems. Always has been. See www.keywiki.org, Palestine Human Rights Campaign and other Zogby family operations. He has been a key pro-PLO propagandist since the late 1970’s and has his fingers in almost every anti-Israel, leftist or Islamic united front organization in America.

Not a shakeup, a good old fashioned Bolshevik purge!
