Vulnerable House Dems not happy with DCCC’s meddling
July 27, 2022
House Democrats are not exactly thrilled that Sean Patrick Maloney’s DCCC is spending money to meddle in Republican primaries while their own members are fighting for their political lives.
Here’s what the people trusting Sean Patrick Maloney to save their majority think of the job he’s doing:
- Dean Phillips: “It’s dishonorable, and it’s dangerous, and it’s just damn wrong.”
- Elissa Slotkin: “I just think that it’s strange decision-making and I let them know that.”
- Tom Malinowski: “It is wrong.”
- Stephanie Murphy: “No race is worth compromising your values in that way.”
- Jason Crow: “It’s very dangerous, I think, in this environment to be propping up candidates like that,”also calling it “a terrible idea.” “Of course, it could backfire. And that’s part of the reason why I don’t think it’s a good idea,” he said. “Not only do I think it sends the wrong message, but it’s substantively risky.”
NRCC Comment: “Sean Patrick Maloney has no idea what he is doing as DCCC Chair and a large number of House Democrats seem to have finally caught on.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
