DCCC Chairman Steve Israel Blames Democrats’ Electoral Failures On Ebola
It’s really quite a day over at the DCCC. First, they announced they’re shifting money to sure up incumbents in Obama districts.
Now, they’re blaming it all on Ebola.
Via Business Insider’s Brett LoGuirato:
“And Democrats say it’s hard to grab the public’s attention and focus it on a slowly improving economy with crises popping up at home and abroad.
“‘August was Ebola. It was ISIS. It was Ukraine,” Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told a small group of reporters Monday morning. ‘Global issues dominated. And in September, those issues continued to dominate. And so, part of the headwind was it did make it a little more difficult for us to break through on those middle-class economic contrasts when people were so focused on global issues.’”
No, Steve, you’re not losing because of a world health crisis.
You’re losing because the American people don’t want two more years of complete liberal control in Washington.
NRCC COMMENT: “You think you’ve heard it all and then the chairman of the DCCC goes and blames Democrats’ electoral fortunes on Ebola. It’s time for Democrats to look in the mirror and realize they’re losing because President Obama’s unpopular policies are ‘on the ballot’ this fall.” – Matt Gorman, NRCC Spokesman
