Why Dems Are Skewering One of Their Own

Democrats face internal conflict over rigged primaries and political tensions.

townhall.com

Will this fly under the radar? Probably, but it shouldn’t. One West Coast Democrat is raising the alarm about dirty politics on her side of the aisle, and the rest of her caucus is not pleased. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) is raising the alarm about a rigged primary in Illinois. Perez introduced a motion of the House floor to condemn Democratic Rep. Chuy Garcia for dropping out at the last minute to ensure his chief of staff was the only person on the ballot (via Axios):

Congressional Progressive Caucus members are privately discussing introducing a retaliatory measure against Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) over her efforts to rebuke Rep. Chuy García (D-Ill.), Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The move would escalate simmering tensions between Gluesenkamp Perez and her Democratic colleagues that some lawmakers say is ruining what they had hoped would be a week of unity.

"This is really just unfortunate that we're dealing with this," Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.) told Axios.

"We have all these other issues in the world we have to deal with ... this is really local politics and I don't know that it has a place here," he added.

***********************

Even a lefty is starting to think the left is crooked. Hmmmm........

Let's hope she provides some "safe space" for others to come forward with their complaints.

The excuses offered up by the idiots for this move on Garcia's part are funny. He, apparently, didn't feel the need to clue people in as to what was going on.

This should be interesting to watch.

She's one of the few Blue Dog dems so I suspect that's the reason the dems are trying to get shed of her.

The vile dems of today don't approve of anyone unless they are left of Stalin or Mao.

She serves as a co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition.

Not the first hit she has taken from the vile dems......How dare she not vote for Biden's student loan grift.

In May 2023, after she voted against President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan — a campaign promise the White House hoped would shore up support with millennial and Gen Z voters, the angry comments began rolling in. “Shame on you for voting against something that would help millions of people,” one user commented on her Instagram account. Others called her a “grifting fraud!” and a “heartless ghoul,” and told her to “resign in disgrace.” Online protesters found the Yelp page for Dean’s Car Care, the auto shop she co-owns with her husband, and left one-star reviews — driving down its rating. Then she voted to send military support to Israel, which further enraged progressives and drew a new crowd of angry commentators and voters, in her district and around the country. By August, Slate was calling her a “Kyrsten Sinema wannabe.”

It truly is amazing how the 75% can let the 25% control everything.

Whenever anyone uses words like 'lefty' you know you are in name calling dumb land. A place most Trump fans live in. Internal criticism is a good thing, the republicans need to follow that example but then their leader is a felon so what can one say. Felon is a fact not a name call. LOL

Post #2 is all you need to know about this situation.

At their height in 2009, the Blue Dog Coalition had 54 members, accounting for 21% of the entire Democratic caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives.

As of 2025, the Blue Dog Coalition has 10 members in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The vile progressive (socialist) dems moved heaven and earth to primary the Blue Dogs out of existence, often through ethnic gerrymandering.

This is what it means to NOT be a fascist OP, you get to criticize your government even if and when it's on "your side."

You thugs won't know anything about that because you have to kow tow to your Dear Leader.

See my siggy.
