'Bullying, harassment, intimidation': Dems penalize a leader
OLYMPIA — The chemistry of Jason Call’s progressive politicking has proven intoxicating among Snohomish County Democrats.
In 2016 and again last year, a majority chose him to serve on the powerful central committee which crafts the platform and strategy for the state Democratic Party.
Plenty have also had a toxic reaction to the Marysville Democrat’s brand of activism.
They don’t appreciate his blunt critiques of those he considers tethered too tightly to pragmatic rather than progressive ideas. His comments are often laced with expletives, epithets and other saucy language which they find jarring, harassing and intimidating.
A complaint filed earlier this year alleged Call’s behavior toward colleagues in the 44th Legislative District Democrats organization violated the state party’s Code of Conduct.
An investigation ensued. On Aug. 20, the state party’s executive committee concluded Call’s words and actions did cross the line. It voted to suspend him from taking part in central committee meetings and sponsored events for six months. This rarely pursued action cannot be appealed.
“Mr. Call has failed to treat colleagues with the respect expected by the Code when they disagree with him and failed to assume that others have good intent; he has attacked colleagues who hold differing views from his with ad hominem or belittling labeling including, in at least one instance, calling a colleague a Nazi,” reads the final resolution and violation description. It passed on a 17-4 vote.
