Democrats do that? And around Labor Day? Really!

Betsy Newmark posts today “A delicious hypocrisy.” It begins -----

Sometimes, the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party can be quite delightful. Powerline and Captain Ed point to this story of how the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has hired an organization to send out employees to raise money for the DCCC and support for raising the minimum wage.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), based in Washington, D.C., has hired Grassroots Campaigns, a Boston-based for-profit company with operations in 18 U.S. cities, to conduct canvassing on its behalf. The DCCC's "New Direction for American" agenda, which provides the talkiing points canvassers are taught to use to solicit contributions, includes a call to "Raise the minimum wage."
Fine. But there is a slight problem. Grassroots Campaigns is not paying their workers....wait for it....minimum wage.

Betsy has more about it here.

Imagine the Dems doing that! And right around Labor Day.

Why aren’t we reading more about this story in our MSM? Sure, most MSM reporters and editors are Dems themselves, but they swear that doesn’t matter when they’re on the job bringing us "unbiased news reporting."

And so it goes with the Dems and their MSM allies.
