Xochitl Hinojosa, Communications Director for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), raised eyebrows this week when during an appearance on Fox News she said that for the party, the “convention has to happen,” because they are “not officially nominating Joe Biden in order to take Donald Trump.”
“There’s a real possibility the convention does not happen or it happens in a virtual sense. Is that correct as of today?” anchor Bill Hemmer asked.
“First of all, our convention has to happen, because we are not officially nominating Joe Biden in order to take Donald Trump,” Hinojosa replied. “So our convention is happening. There is business that has to happen”
Wait, what? For a Communications Director she should have communicated that statement better.

At first I thought she was saying that nominating Biden wasn’t the ONLY reason they had to have a convention. But then I listened again, and she did say that they weren’t officially nominating Joe Biden to take out Trump, on top of they have “business that has to happen.”
Joe Biden (D-DE) formally became the Democrat Party’s 2020 presumptive nominee following Senator Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) dropping out of the race, as he was the last Democratic dope from the clown car still running. Sanders vowed, before dropping out, that he would support the eventual party nominee, and said: “While this campaign is coming to an end, our movement is not.”
Well, he wasn’t kidding, because now the Vermont senator is pushing to get his progressive policies saturated into the Biden campaign and eventually have them placed into the party’s platform. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) (AOC) was just appointed a co-chair of a Climate Change Task Force.
When Sanders dropped out of the race, he said, among other things, “While this campaign is coming to an end, our movement is not,” he added.
During a live stream event with Biden, Sanders said, “Today I am asking all Americans — I’m asking every Democrat, I’m asking every independent, I’m asking a lot of Republican — to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy which I endorse.”
“If I am the nominee, which it looks like now you just made me, I am going to need you, not just to win the campaign, but to govern,” Biden replied.
The DNC rescheduled the party’s July convention to August, citing coronavirus-related considerations. This week, the Rules and Bylaws Committee voted to “grant convention organizers in Milwaukee the authority to design an event that won’t require delegates to attend in person amid the coronavirus pandemic.”
The plan, based on DNC Chair Tom Perez, ensures that “every delegate is able to accomplish their official business without putting their own health at risk – whether that be participating in person or by other means to allow for social distancing.”
The move successfully opens the door for a virtual convention. If only the convention were being held in a Republican state, then the Dems could go to their convention wearing masks. But, they elected a Democrat who no doubt has people in lockdown to force mail-in voting so that the Democrats can cheat their rear ends off on Election Day.
