DCCC officially implodes
The DCCC has forced a
female Iraq war veteran to step down as Executive Director for not being woke
enough (on her birthday, no less).
But can someone please check if Tayhlor Coleman, who first created this entire
uproar among Democrats after making derogatory comments against Mexicans and homophobic
remarks, has also resigned?
What a disaster for House Democrats.
In case you missed it…
Top DCCC staffer out amid diversity uproar

The executive director of House Democrats’ campaign arm is stepping down amid
an outcry from Democratic lawmakers over the lack of diversity in the
committee’s senior ranks.
Executive Director Allison Jaslow, a close confidante of Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Cheri Bustos, announced her resignation
at an all staff meeting Monday, according to multiple sources. Jaslow said her
resignation is effective immediately.
Jaslow’s sudden departure comes as Bustos tries to contain the fury from
Democratic lawmakers and aides that she has done little to address the lack of
diversity in the upper ranks of the campaign arm since winning the chairmanship
late last year.
Two Hispanic lawmakers, Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Filemon Vela, called for
Jaslow’s resignation in a statement to POLITICO Sunday.
“The DCCC is now in complete chaos,” Gonzalez and Vela said in their statement.
“The single most immediate action that Cheri Bustos can take to restore
confidence in the organization and to promote diversity is to appoint a
qualified person of color, of which there are many, as executive director at
once. We find the silence of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on this issue to
be deafening.”
Bustos flew back to D.C. on Monday to address
committee staff in person after aides demanded an “immediate
restructuring” of senior management following a POLITICO report last week
detailing several complaints about Bustos’ tenure atop the campaign
committee.
