The CW Television Network Tries To Out-SJW ITSELF With Its New Batwoman Series.
October 6, 2019Elizabeth Warren’s national organizing director Rich McDaniel is now officially her former national organizing director. McDaniel, who also worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, was let go for “inappropriate behavior.” In a statement to Politico, spokesperson Kristen Orthman said,
“Over the past two weeks, senior campaign leadership received multiple complaints regarding inappropriate behavior by Rich McDaniel. Over the same time period, the campaign retained outside counsel to conduct an investigation. Based on the results of the investigation, the campaign determined that his reported conduct was inconsistent with its values and that he could not be a part of the campaign moving forward.”
How. . . vague. A source told Politico that the reports of misconduct were not related to sexual assault, but that’s about all we know. In response, McDaniel released a statement of his own:
“I have separated from the campaign and am no longer serving as National Organizing Director. I have tremendous respect for my colleagues despite any disagreements we may have had and believe departing at this time is in the best interest of both parties.
“I would never intentionally engage in any behavior inconsistent with the campaign or my own values. If others feel that I have, I understand it is important to listen even when you disagree. I wish the campaign and my colleagues well.”
This seems fishy to me. Maybe I’m being cynical about his work history in assuming there’s some sort of corruption going on here, but– OH WAIT, no, I’m not being cynical. He worked on the campaign for one of the most notoriously crooked politicians in America and was on the campaign team for a woman with a verifiable history of lying for personal gain. Honestly, if McDaniel followed the law and tried to be a generally decent person, that would probably be “inconsistent with its [Sen. Warren’s campaign’s] values.”
In any case, I doubt we’ve heard the last of this. Political secrets don’t seem to stay secrets for very long anymore. Maybe it won’t end up being a big story, but I don’t think it ends here.
