Tom Perez elected to chair DNC
Perez managed to squeak through narrowly beating ,Keith Ellison-Muhammed, his ties to Clinton and Obama not impressing nearly half of the DNC delegates. But don’t worry. The Party still got what it deserves…a divisive race-baiting hombre! This article from The Hill came when Perez, at the time Obamas’ departing Secretary of Labor, announced he was seeking the Democrat Party chairmanship: (excerpt)
“After the fiasco of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, Democrats are seriously considering for party chair someone who used private email for government work thousands of times and refused bipartisan congressional requests to release them? Have Democrats learned nothing from 2016?” Colin Reed, American Rising’s executive director, told The Hill.
And by the clues we glean from this Wikipedia bio (bold emphasis ours), Perez will likely be aggressive in continuing Democrat policies diminishing national sovereignty, doing nothing about porous borders, providing amnesty for illegals and hostility toward business. He was elected by clueless DNC delegates by saying that Democrats need to reconnect to (white) blue collar workers they lost so substantially in the heartland, disregarding that Perez helped fashion and champion policies that turned so many away. You would think they would look for somebody a little more credible than a another Democrat poster child for ignoring laws on email and immigration and a champion of more affirmative action type laws further victimizing innocent white workers.
On March 18, 2013, President Barack Obama nominated Perez to be Secretary of Labor, succeeding outgoing Secretary Hilda Solis.[118] Perez’s nomination was criticized by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Pat Roberts (R-KS),[119] as well as the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal,[120] for his decision not to intervene in a whistleblower case against Saint Paul, Minnesota, in return for the city dropping a case before the Supreme Court (Magner v. Gallagher), which could have undermined the disparate impact theory of discrimination.[121] Ed note: basically issuing a bribe to the city to avoid losing a policy matter at the Supreme Court — explained more fully in this article).
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) opposed the nomination because of Perez’s views on immigration and his association with Casa de Maryland, calling the nomination “an unfortunate and needlessly divisive nomination”.[122][123] . . .
Before holding a hearing on the nomination, Republican members of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform subpoenaed Perez’s personal e-mails[129] and released a 64-page report[130] into Perez’s actions in the St. Paul whistleblower case, saying that Perez “manipulated justice and ignored the rule of law”.[131] . . .
As Senate Democrats pushed in July 2013 to eliminate the filibuster for all executive-branch nominees, senators struck a deal for a Senate vote on Perez’s nomination. On July 17, 2013, the Senate voted 60-40 for cloture on Perez’s nomination, ending the filibuster.[138] On July 18, 2013, the Senate voted 54-46 to confirm Perez as Secretary of Labor.[139] It was the first Senate confirmation vote in history in which a cabinet member’s confirmation received a party-line vote, which many press observers termed “historic.”[140]
Secretary Perez used the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 as authority to issue the Persuader Rule, which required an employer’s attorney to publicly disclose advise given to persuade against unionization.[150] Before the rule took effect on July 1, 2016, the National Federation of Independent Business sued and, on June 26, U.S. District Judge Samuel Ray Cummings issued a nationwide injunction blocking the Persuader Rule, finding it was not authorized by the Act, and that it violated the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.[151]
On August 25, Secretary Perez implemented the President’s Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces executive order.[152] On October 4, U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone issued a nationwide injunction blocking the rule.[153] Judge Crone found the Constitution’s Due Process Clause forbid the President from requiring federal contractors to disclose mere allegations that the contractor had violated labor laws.[153]
Lest anyone think that recounting the various ways in which former secretary Perez subverted the law, abused his office, and ran his department in the same dictatorial way in which most all of Obama’s appointees did, is intended to show why Perez is unfit for any role in public or political activity, think again. This review of Perez’s despicable execution of his authority vividly illustrates why he is a perfect choice for today’s Democratic party leadership. Completely without principles and dedicated to advance the party’s ugly agenda by whatever means, Chairman Perez has found a home. And who better to complement his “skills” is his “assistant”, the would-be “DNC Grand Mufti” Mr. Ellison-Muhammed? (And you thought Debbiecakes Wasserman Schultz was a lovable little honey bear!)

Ellison would’ve been a hoot!
