What Happened with the Dems In Vegas

On Friday, we told you about the drama at the DNC with a new roster of DNC at-large members. After BuzzFeed reported on the rumors about strife over James Zogby -- who was removed from the at-large list but retained a role on the resolutions committee -- allegedly being part of an effort by Bernie Sanders supporters to swap nominees Minyon Moore, Donna Brazile, and Rev. Leah Daughtry, all three women came out and said Zogby was not involved. DNC chairman Tom Pérez used part of the meeting to apologize for how the membership shifts were handled. Eventually, the DNC at-large list was put to a voice vote, with a clear majority of members approving it. In a few Facebook posts, Daughtry let her feelings be known. One read, “Two things I know for sure: it was not a rumor and it was not started or perpetuated by Jim Zogby. @thedemocrats.” Another read, “Reality for Black women: no matter your experience or qualifications, you continually have to prove why you have a seat at the table. Meanwhile newcomers come thru the doors you opened, sit at the table you spread, and question your presence.” She finally brought church to the DNC meeting in Las Vegas in a rousing speech at the podium on Sunday and reminded Dems they don’t have time to fight with each other while Trump is in the White House. “We were just this week’s targets. Tomorrow, or maybe even later today, maybe even before this meeting is over, it will be about different people who don’t meet some imaginary ever-changing standard of what it means to be a Democrat.” See her rousing remarks here.
