Link to tweet
Speaking at the New Jersey Working Families Alliance at an event that was broadcast on Facebook Live, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez mentioned the failed Republican attempt to repeal and replace ObamaCare last month.
The chairman slammed President Trump, arguing the president wants his name on everything except for the proposed healthcare legislation.
Well I'll tell you my idea, because you know what embodies their program? I dont care, Perez said, referencing the GOPs failed measures, adding to applause, "Because they dont give a s--- about people."

But we're getting there.

Good to see that he's got some fire and is willing to have our party do something other than roll over.

Tom Perez's remark is at around 8:45 (if you're counting down, 26:27 if you're counting up)
Keith Ellison spoke up before then and really got the troops up.
