Dear Lizzy Warren

I read that you told Jake Tapper that you agreed that the 2016 primary was rigged for Hillary Clinton based on things Donna Brazile said. By the way, even Donna Brazile says the primary wasn’t rigged but she was shocked *SHOCKED!!* that the only Democrat who was running last year for the Democratic Party nomination was also the person who bailed out that same party with her own personal money.

The 2016 primary wasn’t rigged. The 2008 primary was. Here’s what that rigging looked like when the DNC rules committee voted to give Barack Obama 54 unpledged delegates from Michigan after taking his name off the ballot resulted in him losing the primary to Hillary Clinton. Let’s watch, shall we?

Hillary Clinton went to the Denver Convention trailing Obama by a statistically insignificant number of votes, all of them the product of the rules committee decision, and didn’t even get the courtesy of an unrigged floor vote. She won the popular vote then too.

Where were you in 2008? I can guarantee you that every Hillary voter in 2008 has that Rules committee meeting etched in their minds forever, especially since many of us were forced to vote for that ladder climbing, self absorbed corporate schmoozer in November 2008.

We worked our asses off last year for Hillary in the primaries where she also took all of the big blue states. Bernie has lost all of my respect at this point. He needs to sit down and STFU. And you and the other Dems need to remember to dance with the ones who brung ya’. That was us, the forgotten, ignored, denigrated but now, really enraged Clinton supporters.

You owe us all an apology.

Pm317 pointed me to Elizabeth Rogers @ahumorlessfem on Twitter. Rogers posted a thread explaining the Hillary Victory Fund in mind numbing detail. Here’s the Storify version of the thread.

Which only goes to prove that “no good deed goes unpunished” especially if your name is Hillary Clinton.
