Nevada Democratic Party’s hiring of Buttigieg ex-staffer raises concerns
Las Vegas Review Journal ^ | 2/9/2020 | Rory Appleton

The hiring of a top presidential candidate’s staff member to a position within the Nevada Democratic Party has increased scrutiny of the party as it works to put together a contingency plan for its Feb. 22 caucuses.

Dozens of Twitter users — most identified as supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders — on Sunday accused the Democratic Party of corruption and hurled insults at Emily Goldman, who was hired as the party’s Voter Protection Director in January. Many called for Goldman and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez to be fired.

Screenshots of Goldman’s Linkedin account noted she worked as an Iowa organizer for former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg until February, when she began her new role with the Nevada Democratic Party.

Goldman, who has since switched her social media accounts to private settings, is no longer employed or affiliated with the Buttigieg campaign.

Buttigieg defeated Sanders in a close and bitterly contested contest in Iowa last week. Sanders received more popular votes, but Buttigieg was awarded more delegates — the traditional definition of a “win” in a caucus state.

Social media users questioned the optics of hiring a candidate’s staff member ahead of running important caucuses in which that candidate is competing.

Nevada Democratic Party spokeswoman Molly Forgey said Goldman was offered the position in January, before the Iowa caucuses were underway. Goldman is not a senior staff member and will not be involved with Nevada’s caucuses, Forgey added, though she is currently working for the party.

Perhaps the days of even attempting to hide this sort of activity are over?

Bernie has been a weakling for a long time, meltingbwhen BLM people stormed his stage, and one of his staffers quoted at the link above highlights this. He'll acquiesce like always.

One of the quotes at the link from a Nevada big wig above is a red herring: no one formerly from the Warren or Sanders campaign had Sanders or Warren claim victory like Buttigieg did before he or anyone else knew the outcome.

And with certain people supporting a certain candidate and being tied to a certain app an all doesn't look good.

And no one formerly from the Buttigieg campaign should be within a hundred miles of this position or any like it just days after the Iowa debacle.

Buttigieg:

The liberal establishment media’s Obama 2.0:

A so-called intellectual, well-spoken, flowery speeches, would be historic, and a “first” if he won.

One more:

Even the appearance of corruption drives away voters because if they think their vote won’t count they won’t vote.

I suspect Clinton is behind Buttigieg.

But these actions show that the DNC is setup for corruption. Most organizations have rules that would prevent a campaign from taking over the vote integrity before a primary.

That is what Clinton did in 2016 with the entire DNC, paying off the party’s debt and taking over, ensuring nobody else had a path to the nomination.

He's not a weakling. Like most communist leaders, he looks out for himself. I think he was astute enough to understand that getting into a conflict with BLM was a no-win scenario for him. He's plenty aggressive against conservatives.

Who is the puppet-master behind all this?

* * *

It's given in her name, Emily Goldman. Has anyone ever heard of Golden Sacks or the Central Casting Agency?

Butt Giggity is a puppet if there ever was one. How else is a young failed mayor of a small city elevated to a position of political power?

He had all the credentials.

democ'Rat politicians don't gain status on what they accomplished in life or their sound ideas. They are elevated on their:

As in the previous Democratic primary the Democratic Party made sure Bernie was not the candidate by feeding Hillary the contents of the debates beforehand

And you do know the homosexual lobby is one of the best funded, most powerful forces in the US (maybe the world). Why and how this has come about I have not a clue, but it is.

The Nevada caucus of 2016 was a complete debacle.

Rinse and repeat in 2020.

The DNC establishment is _totally_ predictable.

If you don’t know how to cheat and steal in Las Vegas, you really need to be somewhere else... ;-)

Emily Goldman, who was hired as the party’s Voter Protection Director

Talk about Orwellian double-speak.
