What’s one of the dumbest things Democrats can do as we go into 2020? Try to shut down their ability to raise money. Great job, far left freshmen, keep it up!
Via The Hill:
Several Democratic lawmakers criticized a new policy announced by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to blacklist any consulting firms that choose to work with Democrats attempting to defeat sitting members of the party in primary elections.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), two prominent House Democratic freshmen who beat incumbent Democrats, took aim at the policy announced by Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) in tweets accusing the DCCC of trying to stifle the flow of new members into the party.
In 2018, Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley beat former Reps. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) and Michael Capuano (D-Mass.), respectively.
Ocasio-Cortez called for a halt to small-dollar donations to the DCCC until the policy was lifted.
