Hard Cry

Being the head of the liar's club is hard, or something:

Politico reported today that newly elected Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin began weeping (multiple times!) during a Zoom meeting of DNC officers. The article — “‘You essentially destroyed any chance I have,’ DNC chair told David Hogg in private meeting” — paints a vivid picture of the estrogen-fueled pillow fight between the DNC’s top leadership: “I’ll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job … the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don’t know if I wanna do this anymore,” he said in a May 15 Zoom meeting of DNC officers, according to a recording obtained by POLITICO. In the recording, an emotional Martin describes being deeply frustrated by the fallout over [David] Hogg, who has ignited a firestorm in the party by vowing to spend $20 million in safe-blue primaries to oust incumbent Democrats he believes are ineffective. Martin paused twice while appearing to choke up. [emphasis added] Yeah, when your new DNC chairman is already crying and threatening to quit, it doesn’t exactly capture the ethos of rugged, manly confidence.

Real men don't cry...
