"On Friday evening, the Democratic National Committee reversed a decision it had made two months ago: the committee would now welcome money from fossil-fuel corporate PACS.Bad? Yes. Predictable? Well two months of heightened fundraising getting more money and support from those who thought the DNC had turned over a new leaf and could be trusted is better than nothing for the DNC anyway. Most people will not hear the news and be none the wiser and now the corporate money can flood in too. Nice dirty trick if you can get away with it. Since Oil Pac money is given equally to Republican and Democrats (of a blue dog ilk) I for one never believed the earlier pledge, The duplicitous DNC simply can't breath without it. But only two months to ditch the pledge -- this stinks of hubris. There is no blue wave. Dems will go down big in 2020. To quote our chief "very, very sad."
DNC Chairman Tom Perez's "proud" comment announcing the reversal is a jewel in the lexicon of double speak.
"We have to draw the line that we are indeed a party of a big tent where all working people are welcome. We’re not a party that punishes workers simply based on how they make ends meet. ... At the same time, we remain committed to the Democratic Party platform, which states unequivocally our support for combating climate change."While taking their money of course.
