The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has once again found itself embroiled in scandal—and this one’s as rich as it is ridiculous. After blowing through *a billion dollars* during Kamala Harris’s doomed presidential campaign (and still managing to end up $20 million in debt), the party is now leaving its own staffers high and dry. How? By laying off two-thirds of them with “little notice and no severance.” Adding insult to injury, the DNC’s union has resorted to crowdfunding to help laid-off workers cover rent, medical expenses, and childcare. Yes, the same party that spent millions on celebrity endorsements and glitzy campaign events is now begging for scraps on GoFundMe.
The union’s fundraiser page paints a damning picture of DNC leadership: “We are heartbroken to see our colleagues—who dedicated countless hours to electing Democrats up and down the ballot—depart under these circumstances.” Translation? Thanks for the hard work, but good luck paying your bills.
Meanwhile, this “most pro-union president ever” administration is punting responsibility faster than you can say “Collective Bargaining Agreement.” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brushed off questions about the layoffs, deferring them to the DNC. The party, for its part, insists it met union terms but offers little more than hollow reassurances about “supporting the team.”
To be clear, this isn’t just a financial debacle; it’s a moral one. These are the same Democrats who love to lecture America about worker rights and economic justice. Yet when it comes to their own employees, they can’t even muster the decency to provide severance pay. The hypocrisy is stunning but not surprising.
The internet, of course, is having a field day. Social media users were quick to point out the absurdity of the situation, with one sarcastically suggesting the DNC hit up Oprah, George Clooney, or Beyoncé for cash. After all, if celebrities were good enough to prop up Harris’s failing campaign, surely they can help keep the lights on for the DNC’s former staffers.
This disaster is yet another example of Democratic leadership’s disconnect from reality. They spent like drunken sailors, indulging in lavish campaign events and empty celebrity platitudes, only to leave their workers holding the bag. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris—fresh off her epic electoral failure—is likely enjoying her Hawaiian vacation without a care in the world.
If this is how the DNC treats its own people, imagine what they’d do to the country. Dodged a bullet there, didn’t we?
