I would like to start this article by saying I believe all political parties no matter which you identify with are corrupt. The world of politics is nothing but competition and in competitions everyone strives to win. With that in mind, I am sure we have all heard something about WikiLeaks leaking DNC, Democratic National Committee, staffer's emails to various news outlets and other staffers. If only I could receive a dollar for overtime the word "email" is brought up in this election. WikiLeaks released 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the top of the US Democratic National Committee -- part one of their new Hillary Leaks series. The leaks come from the accounts of seven key figures in the DNC: Communications Director Luis Miranda (10770 emails), National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan (3797 emails), Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer (3095 emails), Finance Director of Data & Strategic Initiatives Daniel Parrish (1472 emails), Finance Director Allen Zachary (1611 emails), Senior Advisor Andrew Wright (938 emails) and Northern California Finance Director Robert (Erik) Stowe (751 emails). The emails cover the period from January last year until 25 May this year. The exposure released some pretty unprofessional emails to say the least. The emails consisted of favoritism, racist and homosexual slurs and some straight up House of Cards drama.
“Wondering if there’s a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess.”
Another email insisted they urge reporters to bring up Bernie’s religious views while in evangelical states to hurt him in the polls. Here is the exact quote from the email,
“For KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.”
Then Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chairwoman responded
“This is a silly story," she wrote. "He isn't going to be president.”
These emails were sent with nine primaries still to come, therefore way to early to declare a winner.
Apparently, the party of tolerance is pretty intolerant when they think no one is watching. This is shown through the remarks made by Rebecca Christopher:
“Hi everyone,
Attached is a script for a new video we’d like to use to mop up some more taco bowl engagement, and demonstrate that Trump actually isn’t trying.
Let me know if you have any flags and thank you!”
That is not to friendly to their dear Democratic Latino voters, or how about these emails making fun of an African American woman’s name.
Allen: “I’m going to have LaQueenia send out some options for next week. Hopefully we can all get on the phone and reenergize this event.”
Comer: “Just kill me now.”
Allen: “LaQueenia is a NAME! I’m sorry, boo. I hope you got a raise with this title.”
Let’s not forget the homophobic material within the emails, which contained comments such as “no homo.” In another email sent by Kaplan, this time with DNC finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer, he speculated on political operative Doug Hathaway’s sexual orientation.
“Doug Hathaway is definitely gay. He swims for the gay and lesbian team in DC,” he wrote to Allen.
“Totes. He gives me daddy vibes.” Comer wrote back.
There is even more emails that contain this type of material that can be found at athttps://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/
Lastly, is the DNC using their connections to control the media. Throughout the blast there are a countless number of emails to major News outlets. Such as, The New York Times, MSNBC, CNN and more. Many emails, asking to review stories that have not yet gone public. For example, DNC staffers contacted MSNBC demanding that they do not air a program on Clinton’s correlation to the DNC. Ironic, isn't it. Not only that but they also pulled a story from The New York Times as well, regarding the Clintons fundraising. On top of the DNC protecting Clinton and starting stories about Bernie, they also decided to come up with plans to stir things up with Trump. In one case, they discussed creating a fake advertisement for a job in the Trump Organization. The emails suggest that it was intended to be a clearly satirical attempt to highlight Mr. Trump’s perceived treatment of women as sex objects.
“Seeking staff members for multiple positions in a large, New York-based corporation known for its real estate investments, fake universities, steaks, and wine,”
said the proposed copy, forwarded in an email by Christina Freundlich, a committee spokeswoman.
“The boss has very strict standards for female employees, ranging from the women who take lunch orders (must be hot) to the women who oversee multi-million dollar construction projects (must maintain hotness demonstrated at time of hiring),” it added.
The title for the job: “Honey Bunch (that’s what the boss will call you).”
This is the world of politics for you. Corrupt business, power and connections. I encourage everyone to be aware of all media stories and check facts for yourself. The information in this article came from WikiLeaks along with other trustworthy sites that I also fact checked through reading the emails for myself. I also encourage everyone, if you haven’t already, watch the political drama House of Cards. I promise it will leave you thinking for yourself and not the way the government wants you to.
Extra email fun fact: In one email a DNC staffer wrote that Hillary Clinton has plans to make her husband Bill a position in economics. The staffer goes on to say it is so she can keep an eye on him in the white house. LOL silly Bill, young girls are for single guys, but I’m sure Hillary will give you some balloons to keep you occupied.
