The DCCC stokes the flame of chaos in MI-08 Democrat primary

The DCCC just announced Kristen McDonald Rivet was added to their “red to blue” program. Meanwhile, national Democrats are stoking the fire of an already-chaotic primary for Michigan Democrats.

Before Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley backed out of the race, he wrote a strongly worded op-ed in the Michigan Chronicle claiming “the deck has been stacked from the start” and that there “appears that there is a double-standard in the Michigan Democratic Party as it relates to Black versus white.”

Neeley also told MIRS that Michigan Democrats are “telling people of color, you can push the bus, but you can’t ride.”

“National Democrats are now stoking the fire of chaos with this endorsement of Kristen McDonald Rivet. It’s clear McDonald Rivet may be the Washington insiders’ choice, but not Michigan’s choice. McDonald Rivet should immediately address the concerns of her fellow Democrats in Michigan.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
