Nancy Doesn’t “See Anything Inappropriate” In Rigging Primaries. Seriously.

We already knew this… but the cat is OFFICIALLY out of the bag.

Democrats rig primaries

…and Pelosi sees absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Nancy Pelosi doesn’t see “anything inappropriate” about Steny Hoyer telling a progressive to drop out of Colorado congressional race because “a decision was made early on” by the party to back the centrist candidate https://t.co/ddwIYnm6hU

Yeah. This is a BIG. FREAKING. DEAL. you guys.

Of COURSE I’m grossed out… but if I were a Democrat I’d be LOSING it.

EVERYONE should have a problem with this, folks. It’s bad. It’s really, REALLY bad.

According to Medium:

The Intercept has published a secretly taped audio recording of one of the most powerful Democrats in America pressuring a progressive candidate to drop out of a Colorado congressional primary race. It hasn’t been getting as much attention as the WikiLeaks drops on the DNC’s sabotage of the Sanders campaign because it’s not about a presidential race, but make no mistake: this is the single most damning piece of evidence ever published exposing the Democratic Party’s war on progressives.

Emphasis my own because DAMN, you guys. This is coming from MEDIUM. Basically, the Dems aren’t liberal enough.

This is HUGE.

MAY THE EATING OF THEIR OWN COMMENCE!

The recording features House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, the second-highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, informing primary challenger Levi Tillemann that if he runs, he will be running against not just the chosen establishment candidate Jason Crow, but against Hoyer and the full might of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) as well.

“Which means effectively, Congressman Hoyer,” Tillemann is heard saying toward the end of the recording, “I’m running a campaign against Crow, and against you, and against the DCCC, because you guys are on Crow’s side.”

“Yeah,” replied Hoyer. “You know, frankly, that happens in life all the time.”

Holy freaking CRAP.

This happened… and it’s on TAPE.

It’s not about the will of the people for Democrats. It’s not about what their base actually WANTS. It’s about stuffing whatever candidate they think will win in general elections down their throat.

If Dems aren’t mad about this… things are even worse than I thought.

“Steny Hoyer and the DCCC are going into primaries, they’re saying, ‘We’d like to have establishment candidates—folks who are very business-friendly who won’t rock the boat once they come into Congress,'” says reporter @lhfang pic.twitter.com/m4zcy0skgw

The Medium piece continues… and outs Pelosi:

So there you have it. It simply doesn’t get any more incriminating than a published recording of a top Democrat informing a progressive candidate that the party will be placing its thumb on the scale against his primary opponent if he doesn’t drop out.

Or at least, that’s what I would have thought.

Nancy Pelosi, the only House Democrat who outranks Hoyer, somehow surpassed the jaw-dropping revelations in the audio recording by giving Hoyer’s actions her full-throated endorsement.

“I don’t know that a person can tape a person without the person’s consent and then release it to the press,” Pelosi told reporters today. “In terms of candidates and campaigns I don’t see anything inappropriate in what Mr. Hoyer was engaged in — a conversation about the realities of life in the race as to who can make the general election.”

That’s right, instead of blaming this evidence on Russian hackers, Democratic Party leadership has opted to try a brand new approach: they’re openly admitting to knowingly rigging their primaries against progressive candidates and saying that it’s the right thing to do. Because that’s how you win general elections.

What was that about “meddling” in an election?

DOES THIS NOT CALL FOR AN INVESTIGATION?!

So to recap, the leadership of the Democratic party is no longer attempting to hide the fact that it deliberately stacks its own primaries against progressive candidates, and yet still has the gall to act like they’re the smart adults in the room who know how to win general elections. These are the same people who think telling the public “screw primaries, you’ll vote how we say” is sheer strategic brilliance. The same people who lost over a thousand seats under Obama.

It’s time for Americans who consider themselves Democrats to WAKE UP and realize that they’re being used as PAWNS.

This is UNBELIEVABLE.

Medium closes out with this:

The Democrats are officially an over-funded novelty joke party with a humorously ironic novelty joke name. They are useless. They are worthless. Time for something new.

DAMN.
