I'm liking Tom Perez more every day.

[PatrickforO]

The guy just gave a speech, and when he got to the point where he was talking about the Republican healthcare 'act' he said, "They don't give a shit about people."

Now, the GOP is demanding an apology.

Me, I think there's only one answer to that, and it begins with F and ends with U.

Good for Perez.

1. And he won't back down after repubs screamed bloody muder.

Finally!

[welivetotreadonkings]

2. They should apologize for incessantly trying to deprive us of healthcare.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Love it,just hit a nerve.

[Squinch]

4. Contact him and tell him.

Thanks for this thread. I like it too, so I just wrote him and told him.

7. Just did!

[Warpy]

5. He was smart enough to appoint Ellison as his Deputy Chair

and it looks like the two are managing to work together.

It's the most optimistic I've felt about the party in ages.

[MuseRider]

10. This is exactly how I feel.

I was going back to Independent after the primaries but doing that got lost in the mess of life so I am still a D for now. I may stick around and send some money. He seems to be inclusive of all aspects of our party and I really appreciate that but most importantly he has guts and seems to want to stand up for all of us. He and Ellison will be a killer combo.

6. About god damned time we had a DNC Chair with a backbone

We need to be honest with people...especially the low educated white people who voted for Trump. He doesn't give a shit about you. He just used you for a stupid vote and you fell for it.

[herding cats]

8. I think he and Ellison make an amazing team.

They're both salty, take no crap Democrats. We're going to go far under this leadership!

[KittyWampus]

9. Trump cursing

?t=21

[JHan]

11. zactly, repubs need to STFU.

[JHan]

12. K & R

[okasha]

13. That kind of take-no-prisoners truth-telling

was one of the reasons he was my pick for Hillary's VP.

[judesedit]

14. I couldn't agree more. I hope he keeps it up.

He is exactly the kind of Democrat we need right now. Nothing less. He's not afraid to speak the plain truth to power. We will stand with him.

[Dawson Leery]

15. kick

[IronLionZion]

16. I feel great about the party and Tom's leadership

and optimistic for our future. We need to have our people fired up to win big in 2018. Meanwhile Trumpers are going be wondering why Trump hasn't created the jobs he promised and has screwed them over instead. We could win over some of them, enough of them in some states to flip close Senate elections.

It's not a presidential year so turnout will be low...on their side. Our side needs high turnout.

[SunSeeker]

17. The GOP can go fuck themselves. Perez was telling the truth.

How else do you describe it when the GOP tried to kick 20 million Americans off their health coverage?

[elleng]

18. I hope they/we STOP basing the future on what REPUGS do,

time to promote DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMS.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. RepubliCONs care about "their people". D's care about all people, even deplorables needing Obamacare

Republicons specialize in finding ways to exclude people:

* Voter suppression
* Drug testing for welfare & just about everything these days
* Kicking 24 million people off healthcare
* Anti-immigrant

and more.

[calimary]

20. Yep. THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU.

He's totally right. They truly do not give a shit. Unless you're rich and can bankroll their ambitions.

Reminds me of this major-league publicist who handled a slew of A-listers - whose signature quote was "I only talk to people who count."

[NCDem777]

21. LOL gotta love it

Conservatives go"loltriggered" when white conservatives say stupid shit bout POC but Tom Perez said one relatively mild thing, GOP flips out
