Tom Perez, an excellent Labor Secretary and head of the Civil Rights Division from the left of the party, will be DNC Chair. Keith Ellison, an excellent and influential member of the House from the left of the party, will be Deputy Chair, and as a bonus will get to remain in Congress. This is good, and is an illustration of the extent to which the party has moved to the left over the past 20 years. Of course, Ellison as Chair would also have been an excellent outcome. Either way, ignoring people who wanted to use a contest for a procedural position as a means of re-litigating the primaries and hence had a felt need to smear the candidate they believed to be a Hillary/Bernie proxy is sound practice.
…and they say Wikileaks never breaks important news!
Tom Perez, December 2015: I endorse Hillary Clinton for president. (https://t.co/XOyNkdMIhb)
Wikileaks Feb 2017: OMG YOU GUYS GUESS WHAT! https://t.co/w3Nn4tWrL4

Wait until the emails revealing that Bernie Sanders secretly supported Hillary Clinton for president are revealed!
