Fox News analyst running for DNC chair

Source: The Hill

Democratic strategist and Fox News analyst Jehmu Greene is entering the race for chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

Greene announced her candidacy late Thursday in an email to DNC members, Politico reported.

“After a historic year and devastating losses up and down the ballot, it is women who are stepping up to protect the rights of every American,” she wrote.

“We are organizing, taking action, and marching to demonstrate our opposition to the next administration’s hurtful, hateful policies. Like so many women across the country, I am stepping up and putting myself out there. I am running for DNC chair.”

20% of the federal legislature is women. This is unacceptable! Women bring balance to the aggressive nature of men. No need to post a litany of opposition to my statement. It is true and not a put down. We need both sexes. The issue is, we need balance. We are WAY OUT of balance.

It is time for women to step up on all levels. I think the Women's March is the kick-off to this movement. The Women's March is GLOBAL. 35 Countries have rally's scheduled on January 21st. 281 cities will be participating.

I don't know who this person is (I will educate myself about her). If I like her, she will get my full support.

I heard on the radio yesterday a woman talking about (x3) THREE legislators that ran as Democrats, elected as Democrats, and once in office SWITCHED to Republican. This was in Arkansas. Very disturbing.

As a news analyst Ms. Greene is making $$$ off of a company helping to kill our country. No thanks.

and if it's Fox, so be it. I'd give her a break and let's see how she does.

There is a DNC forum in Houston on Jan 28 and I plan to listen to all of the candidates but right now I am leaning heavily towards Tom Perez
