DEMOCRATS in the news

[Legion]

Kyrsten Sinema, a DEMOCRAT nominee for U.S. Senate summoned "supernatural help".

Emails show Sinema inviting a prominent group of feminist "witches" called "Pagan Cluster" to celebrate International Women’s Day and to protest.

Sinema encouraged the "witches" to wear “colorful clothing and come ready to dance, twirl, and stay in touch with your inner creativity and with the Earth.”

The Sinema campaign would not say why she invited "witches".

CAN'T SELF-IDENTIFY AS LATINO

“Beto” O’Rourke, DEMOCRAT-El Paso, is ineligible for membership in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

O’Rourke, whose nickname is popular among Latinos, is not a member because he lacks Hispanic heritage.

Kristian Ramos, the CHC's communications director, said that the rules are what they are.

“For us, we have to have Hispanic descent to be in the caucus,” he said. “This is a simple case of the bylaws are what the bylaws are.” Ramos added that he had no knowledge of any previous or current attempts by lawmakers to change the requirements for admission. He said he could also not speak to what would happen if someone asked to change the requirements until that happened and the members were consulted.

Not every congressional caucus is as stringent, however. The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus allows members who are not of Asian or Pacific Islander descent, including U.S. Rep. Al Green, DEMOCRAT-Houston.

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was involved in a minor car accident before attending a fundraiser for Sen. Bob Menendez (DEMOCRAT-NJ) on Tuesday.

Clinton’s Secret Service van, famously known as the Scooby Doo van, pulled into a parking garage Monday evening. About halfway up the ramp, the van hit an object.

Several minutes later, Clinton and longtime aide Huma Abedin emerged from the van, looking shaken but unharmed.

DEMOCRAT WON'T SHARE HIS MILLIONS

Rep. Beto O’Rourke (DEMOCRAT-Texas) said Monday that he won't share the $38 million his campaign raised in the third quarter of the year with other Senate DEMOCRAT candidates.

"No," O'Rourke told a reporter who asked if he would share the funds with candidates in tighter races.

A spokesman for O'Rourke's campaign confirmed that O'Rourke doesn't plan to share the funds.

The New York Times reported that O'Rourke's fundraising has caused tension in the DEMOCRAT Party, with some in the party feeling that O'Rourke should share the funds with candidates who are in better positions to win.

Was Crooked Hillary driving?

Did she have a coughing fit?

Is Beto being greedy?
Maybe he is saving the money for his presidential run in 2020

We should tax campaign contributions. Something like 50% in tax

ALL SHE NEEDS IS A BEARD & A CIGAR

The administration of the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, who shot to international fame after criticizing President Trump for not doing enough to help Hurricane Maria victims, is being investigated by the FBI on corruption charges, according a local news outlet.

Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz and her administration are under fire for allegedly obstructing critical supplies from reaching victims of the category-4 hurricane that leveled much of the tiny U.S. territory nearly nine months ago.

The FBI reportedly launched the investigation following a February lawsuit filed by Yadira Molina, the former director of procurement. Molina claims she was retaliated against for reporting “alleged irregular acts” to the local comptroller.

FBI agents are currently raiding an office on the 15th floor of Torre Municipal de San Juan, according to authorities. The operation is related to suspected corruption in the purchasing department.

Sen. Bill Nelson (DEMOCRAT- Fla.) sent out an email encouraging people to donate money for hurricane disaster relief with a list of nonprofit groups that provide aid, but he did not disclose that the links for each group direct users to the website of ActBlue, an organization that helps DEMOCRATS raise money and saves donor emails for future fundraising efforts.

ActBlue, a federally registered political action committee that was launched in 2004, has called itself "the online clearinghouse for DEMOCRAT action."

Nelson also received backlash last year for trying to fundraise off Hurricane Irma.

THEN HE LIED ABOUT IT

During a debate with his rival, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rep. Beto O’Rourke (DEMOCRAT-Tex.) was asked point-blank about a drunken-driving incident when he was 26: Did he try to leave the scene of the crash?

The Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News had recently obtained police reports of the collision and reported that O’Rourke had done so.

O’Rourke responded with what appeared to be a well-practiced answer. He flatly denied trying to leave the scene of the crash but added that driving drunk was a “terrible mistake” and that he would not provide an excuse.

The police reports show not only that O’Rourke was highly intoxicated but that a witness to the crash said he tried to leave the scene.

DEMOCRAT Gov. Jerry Brown keeps adding to California's liberal stupidity. This time it's with S.B. 1192, which prohibits restaurants from listing anything other than plain ol' milk and water on menus. The real kicker though: people can still order other beverages. They just have to ask.

DEMOCRAT Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren acknowledged for the first time late Wednesday night that she told Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania that she was Native American, but she continued to insist that race played no role in her recruitment.

“At some point after I was hired by them, I provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard,’’ she said in a statement issued by her campaign. “My Native American heritage is part of who I am, I’m proud of it and I have been open about it.’’

Warren’s statement is her first acknowledgment that she identified herself as Native American to the Ivy League schools. While she has said she identified herself as a minority in a legal directory, she has carefully avoided any suggestion during the last month that she took further actions to promote her purported heritage.

When the issue first surfaced last month, Warren said she only learned Harvard was claiming her as a minority when she read it in the Boston Herald.

Warren’s new statement came after the Globe asked her campaign about documents it obtained Wednesday from Harvard’s library. The documents show that the university’s law school began reporting a Native American female professor in federal statistics for the 1992-93 school year, the first year Warren worked at Harvard, as a visiting professor.
