Today, Valentine's Day 2019, I arrived at the Democratic National Committee winter/spring meeting in Washington, D.C., with my Daily Kos colleagues @nmmokuena and @Carolyn Fiddler to deliver a message with over 100,000 hearts on our sleeves.
You see, the DNC is reportedly considering hosting a 2020 presidential debate on Fox News—yes, propaganda-spinning, insult-hurling, hyperbolic Fox News. During a recent appearance with Bret Baier on the network discussing potential hosts for Democratic primary debates, DNC Chairman Tom Perez stated, “Absolutely we’re having discussions with Fox and others.”
We at Daily Kos thought, “Hmmm ... NOPE,” and asked our community to join us in opposition to this garbage idea. Your response was tremendous: Over 100,000 people joined us in telling the DNC, “Say no to debates on Fox. Period.”
And so, on Feb. 14, we gathered up the signatures and arrived at the Marriott Marquis, the center for this week’s Democratic hubbub—truly party crashers. We lurked the hallways seeking our rendezvous with Tom Perez. Alas, the schedules did not align. We instead met up with Seema Nanda, the DNC’s CEO, and presented the signatures to her, telling her, “Here are 100,000 people who are calling on the DNC to reject hosting debates on Fox.”
Seema Nanda receiving 100,000 signatures telling the DNC, “Say no to debates on Fox. Period.”Nanda graciously accepted the signatures and thanked us for our advocacy.
We’re not finished with this fight, not until we win. We must not help to spread Fox News’ harmful rhetoric. It’s time for the DNC leadership to be rational and say no to 2020 debates on Fox.
Fed up too? SIGN THE PETITION!
