As the Gateway pundit recently reported, after the election was over, the DNC fired a large number of staffers with no advance warning and no severance pay of any kind. Their union was outraged.
It’s even more stunning when you consider the fact that the Harris campaign had more than a billion dollars to work with and yet these staffers were not taken care of in the end.
Now, they have been reduced to begging people for donations through a GoFundMe account that was set up for them.
Townhall reports:
DNC Staffers Getting Desperate After Kamala Hung Them Out to Dry
Kamala Harris blew through nearly $2 billion in campaign cash before losing to President-elect Donald Trump on November 5 and now, Democratic National Committee staffers have been hung out to dry.
A new GoFundMe page has been launched to help staffers in the aftermath of the election, which wasn’t just a catastrophe for the campaign but also the DNC.
“Last week, 2/3 of DNC staff was laid off with little notice and no severance. We are heartbroken to see our colleagues—who dedicated countless hours to electing Democrats up and down the ballot—depart under these circumstances, and we are furious with DNC leadership for failing to provide severance to those affected. As such, we are creating a relief fund which will directly aid staff members, including single parents and workers expecting children, impacted by the recent layoffs. The funds raised will be distributed equally to any laid-off member who opts in to receive funds. We hope these funds can soften the economic blow for those impacted,” a statement on the page states.
These people were completely betrayed by their party.
One day’s notice, no severance—the DNC fights for workers, just not their own.

A billion dollars to go around and they didn’t even pay their staff. America should feel relieved that these people will no longer be in charge of the country. People who would do this to their own staffers should not be trusted.
