An interesting read, from Right on Daily… “It’s one thing to reach out to Republicans, Democrats do that. We reach out to non-party preference, we reach out to Republicans. But to reach out to white supremacists is the line that we draw in the sand,” said local Democratic Party Chairman Will Rodriguez-Kennedy. Read it all here. As far as the …
