ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: “AFT President Randi Weingarten is leaving the DNC. In a letter to DNC Chair Ken Martin, she wrote, ‘I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging, and I do not want to be the one who keeps questioning why we are not enlarging our tent.’”
UPDATE:
MORE DNC NEWS: Lee Saunders, the president of AFSCME, is also out at the DNC.
This amounts to the exit of two of the highest-profile union leaders aligned with the Democratic Party.
The Times reported Randi Weingarten's exit earlier.
