DCCC Chair Maloney throws vulnerable Spanberger under the bus

November 9, 2021

DCCC Chair Sean Patrick Maloney is in a VERY BAD PLACE. Now he’s resorted to attacking his own vulnerable members.

When asked about Abigail Spanberger’s comment that “Nobody elected [Biden] to be F.D.R.,” Maloney rebuked her saying, “I think those comments are already out of date. What is wrong with F.D.R. if you get the achievements?”

It can never be a good sign when the DCCC Chair—whose sole job is to protect vulnerable members—publicly throws one under the bus.

After last Tuesday’s election results, where Spanberger’s district saw a 17-point swing towards Republicans, Maloney must know she is doomed to lose in 2022.
