Democratic Chairman Criticizes One of His Own For Endorsing a Republican
By Adam Beam, The State
You will be shocked to learn that state Democratic Party Chairman, Dick Harpootlian, sent out an email urging Democrats to call Jackson’s office and “ask him to behave like the Democrat he claims to be.”
Senator Jackson defended his endorsement by listing the key reasons that the Republican is good for our state. Then he said this, “It is [the Democratic Party’s] job to concentrate solely on Democrats. It is my job to concentrate on trying to pass legislation and do things that are going to benefit the overall community, everybody. Sometimes, you can’t always be partisan.”
Wow. What is this younger generation coming too?
