Democratic party is suffering from 'lack of integrity,' says DNC chair candidate - NBC News

19. What a hit job

He did not say the "Democratic party is suffering from 'lack of integrity.'" He mentioned that he is glad that people are talking about the Democratic party as the party of the working class, asked "but what does that mean?" and then said "there is a suffering of a lack of integrity around the brand of the Democratic party, it feels like to many working class people: I don't know if I trust you."

He is right, of course. The party's brand as the party of the working class is in trouble and that is a problem. That is pretty obvious, and should not be the basis for any controversy. Yes, a lot of that is caused by misrepresentations from the media and right wog propaganda. That does not make it any less true.

He did not say that the party, the Democratic voters, nor the politicians lack integrity.

This is just an excuse for a bash fest against the progressive wing, and is obvious and destructive.

If you are serious about taking the fight to the right wing, stop attacking the progressive wing of the party.
