A recent article in The Intercept entitled "Democratic Convention Hosted by Republican Donors, Anti-Obamacare Lobbyists" highlighted how three members of the Democratic National Convention's host committee--Daniel Hilferty, Ed Rendell, and David Cohen-- are actively undermining progressive policies in the U.S.
Members of the DNC Host Committee are responsible for organizing logistics and events for the convention, and, of course, get up close and personal time with powerful Democratic politicians in town for the convention.
But this year, host committee members are hardly Democratic Party devotees. In fact, they more closely resemble Republicans, having donated thousands of dollars to Republican presidential and congressional candidates this cycle and actively undermined and lobbied against progressive policies including fracking regulations, Obamacare, and net neutrality regulations.
