TOM PEREZ, THE NEW FEARLESS LEADER OF THE DNC!
Tom Perez’s Troubled History with Ethics & Honesty
Clinton Acolyte Tom Perez Shares the Clintons' Fast and
Loose Approach to Ethics and Honesty, and appears to be the future of the DNC, and it's current feckless leadership! The current DNC wants to defend lawlessness, support unvetted illegal immigrants and refugees with their own constituency's tax dollars, divide all America by using political correctness, and giving up federal grants and financial aid because obeying the law and keeping America safe is something they're just not interested in doing. I guess if you're Ok with what your elected officials are doing to support Sharia Law, MS-13, and George Soros funded 'Black Lives Matter' anarchist who hide behind masks as they go Sanctuary City after Sanctuary City destroying public property and physically hurting fellow citizens in you community, then I guess you'll be voting for the same people you elected the last time you voted and put them back in the same political post you put them to continue on with the future of your community, and the positive future for your children!
PEREZ'S CAREER HAS BEEN FRAUGHT WITH CONTROVERSY, FROM
ATTEMPTED COVER-UPS AND SILENCING WHISTLEBLOWERS TO LYING ABOUT HIS OWN FAMILY
HISTORY
Perez Said That His Grandfather Was Kicked Out of The
Dominican Republic for Speaking Out Against the Dictator Rafael Trujillo's
Order to Massacre 20,000 Haitians. TOM
PEREZ: "My grandfather - when Trujillo, the horrible dictator in the
Dominican Republic, ordered the massacre of 20,000 Haitians - and the answer was
he spoke up against it, he spoke out against it, he got kicked out, and he was
on the right side of history. And I am so proud of my grandfather for doing it,
even though it was against so many forces in place." (Tom Perez, Remarks,
NALEO Conference in Washington, DC, 6/23/16)
Perez Even Touted in His Official Labor Department Bio That
"Public Service Was the Family Business" And That His Grandfather
"Was the Ambassador to The United States from The Dominican Republic in
the 1930s, Until He Spoke Out Against His Country's Brutal Dictator and Was Declared
Non-Grata." "The son of
Dominican immigrants, Secretary Perez was born and raised in Buffalo, New York.
Public service was the family business. Perez's maternal grandfather was the
ambassador to the United States from the Dominican Republic in the 1930s, until
he spoke out against his home country's brutal dictator and was declared
non-grata. Perez's father, a physician, served in the U.S. Army and worked for
many years at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Buffalo." (Office of The
Secretary: Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez, Department of Labor, Accessed
6/10/16)
• "Perez Rarely, If Ever, Mentions That Mr. Brache Was
One of The Dictator's Champions During At Least The First Five Years of His
Repressive Three-Decade Regime." "Archival records offer a more
complicated picture of Mr. Perez's maternal grandfather, Rafael Brache. In his
comments, Mr. Perez rarely, if ever, mentions that Mr. Brache was one of the
dictator's champions during at least the first five years of his repressive
three-decade regime, a fact documented in dozens of cables, letters and memos
in public archives in the U.S. and the Dominican Republic." (James
Grimaldi and Peter Nicholas, "Labor Secretary Tom Perez's Grandfather
Served Dominican Dictator," The Wall Street Journal, 7/19/16)
• Mr. Brache Defended Trujillo's Regime and Tried,
Unsuccessfully, To Arrange a Meeting Between Trujillo And President Franklin
Roosevelt. As Late As 1935, By Which Time Political Assassinations and Press
Suppression Had Become Widely Publicized, Mr. Brache Expressed 'Great Optimism'
About Trujillo." "Mr. Brache defended Trujillo's regime and tried, unsuccessfully,
to arrange a meeting between Trujillo and President Franklin Roosevelt. As late
as 1935, by which time political assassinations and press suppression had
become widely publicized, Mr. Brache expressed 'great optimism' about Trujillo,
according to a State Department memo." (James Grimaldi and Peter Nicholas,
"Labor Secretary Tom Perez's Grandfather Served Dominican Dictator,"
The Wall Street Journal, 7/19/16)
• In 1934, "Brache Called Trujillo's Regime A 'Model
Government, The Best The [Dominican] Republic Has Had." "Mr. Brache
also met frequently with Angel Morales, an outspoken opposition leader. The
meetings are recounted in letters Mr. Morales wrote to a top State Department
official in the Roosevelt administration and found in the General Archives of
the Dominican Republic. By Mr. Morales's account, Mr. Brache repeatedly
attempted to win support for and loyalty to Trujillo from Mr. Morales. In
November, 1934, Mr. Brache tried to win his 'collaboration with the Trujillo
government,' Mr. Morales said in the letters. Mr. Morales said Mr. Brache
called Trujillo's regime a 'model government, the best the [Dominican] Republic
has had.'" (James Grimaldi and Peter Nicholas, "Labor Secretary Tom
Perez's Grandfather Served Dominican Dictator," The Wall Street Journal ,

Five Ex-Cops Received Reduced Sentences for A Fatal Shooting
After a Federal Judge Found "Grotesque Prosecutorial Misconduct"
Committed by Senior Federal Prosecutors. "Engelhardt accepted guilty pleas
from the five ex-cops involved in the 2005 fatal shooting spree on the Danziger
Bridge in the days after Katrina. The cops received reduced sentences after
Engelhardt found 'grotesque prosecutorial misconduct' on behalf of senior
federal prosecutors." (Denis Slattery, "Hillary Clinton's Potential
Veep Pick, U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, Caught Up In Bungled Case Against
New Orleans Cops Who Killed Two Men After Hurricane Katrina," The New York
Daily News, 4/23/16)
According to The New York Daily News, Perez Was One Of
"Several Top Department of Justice Officials" Involved In A Cover Up
Of An Online Commenting Scandal That Led To The Cop's Original Conviction Being
Overturned. "U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez was one of several top
Department of Justice officials involved in covering up an online commenting
scandal that led to the cops' original conviction being overturned, U.S. District
Judge Kurt Engelhardt said Wednesday." (Denis Slattery, "Hillary
Clinton's Potential Veep Pick, U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, Caught Up In
Bungled Case Against New Orleans Cops Who Killed Two Men After Hurricane
Katrina," The New York Daily News, 4/23/16)
• At A Sentencing Hearing, A Federal Judge Disclosed That
Sealed Records Showed That Perez Instructed a Prosecutor Not to Reveal to The
Judge the Fact That One Prosecutor Had Posted Inappropriate Remarks Online.
"At the sentencing of the former NOPD officers last year, Engelhardt said
in open court that some sealed records show lead prosecutor Barbara 'Bobbi'
Bernstein told then-Justice officials Thomas Perez and Roy Austin Jr. that
Department of Justice prosecutor Karla Dobinski had also posted improper
comments online. Perez and Austin then instructed Bernstein not to share that
information with Engelhardt, the judge suggested at the sentencing."
(Manuel Torres, "Media Seeks Records In Justice Dept. Investigation Probe
Focuses On Misconduct In Danziger Case," The Times-Picayune, 1/27/17)
A Former Employee of The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration Claimed Perez "Authorized And/or Ratified a Retaliatory
Investigation" Against Him and Two Other Highly Qualified and Experienced
Investigators" Leading to the "Resignation of A Fourth Highly
Qualified Investigator Who Was Disgusted by These Developments."
"Rather, evidence indicates the Secretary authorized and/or ratified a
retaliatory investigation, which led to my removal, the removal of two other
highly qualified and experienced investigators, and the resignation of a fourth
highly qualified investigator who was disgusted by these developments. By the
end of 2015, five of the six Region IX investigators who actively objected to
the corruption had been removed or forced out of their jobs." (Darrell
Whitman, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Letter to J. David Cox,
President, American Federation Of Government Employees, 7/16/16)
Whitman Alleged These Actions Took Place After Perez Choose
to Ignore Allegations of Corruption In The Department Of Labor Made By Whitman
And Refused To Follow Normal Protocol By Not Reporting The Incident To The
Department's Inspector General. "In May 2014, I sent a letter to U.S.
Secretary of Labor, Thomas Perez, copied to my political representatives in
California, the Chairs of the House and Senate committees that oversee OSHA,
and to the White House. The letter summarized documented evidence of the
corruption in Region IX OSHA, and at the end of the letter I asked for a
'creditable audit/investigation of OSHA Region IX.' The Secretary's office
refused to respond to the letter and failed to direct me to report the
situation to the DOL Inspector General and/or the Office of Special Counsel,
which is the standard protocol in these situations." (Darrell Whitman,
Occupational Safety And Health Administration, Letter To J. David Cox ,
President, American Federation Of Government Employees, 7/16/16)
As Assistant Attorney General for The Civil Rights Division,
Tom Perez Used His Private E-Mail Almost 1,200 Times to Conduct Official
Department Business. "Mr. Kadzik's letter suggests that you have used your
personal, non-official e-mail account almost 1,200 times to conduct official
Department business since you became the Assistant Attorney General for the
Civil Rights Division in October 2009. This recurrent use of your personal
e-mail amounts to roughly one e-mail per day since you assumed the duties of
Assistant Attorney General. Contrary to Mr. Kadzik's assertions, this large
volume of personal, non-official e-mails indicates that you did not use your
personal, non-official e-mail account in 'limited circumstances' to perform
your official duties. Instead, it appears that your use of your personal,
non-official e-mail account to conduct official Department business has been
frequent and routine." (Darrell Issa, Letter To Thomas E. Perez, House
Committee On Oversight And Government Reform, 4/18/13)
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Found
That in Distributing His Personal Email "To Such A Wide Variety Of
Professional Contacts Raises Questions About [Perez's] Recognition Of The
Importance Of Avoiding The Use Of [His] Personal E-Mail To Conduct Official
Business." "This review of a very narrow subset of responsive
documents indicated that you used your personal, non-official account to
conduct official Department business with at least twelve separate individuals
from organizations such as Planned Parenthood, the New York Times, and Talking
Points Memo. The fact that you have distributed your personal, non-official
e-mail address to such a wide variety of professional contacts raises questions
about your recognition of the importance of avoiding the use of your personal
e-mail account to conduct official business." (Darrell Issa, Letter to
Thomas E. Perez, House Committee On Oversight And Government Reform, 4/18/13)
After Being Asked About His Assertions That the Democratic
Party's Nominating Process Was Rigged Against Bernie Sanders, Perez Quickly
Reversed His Position
Vox Headline: "Tom Perez Went From 'The Process Was
Rigged' Against Bernie to 'I Misspoke' In Under A Day." (Jeff Stein,
"Tom Perez Went From 'The Process Was Rigged' Against Bernie To 'I Misspoke'
In Under A Day," Vox , 2/9/17)
Perez Stated That the Democratic Nominating Process Was
"Rigged" And That "You've Got to Be Honest About It" And
That Was a Reason Democrats Need A DNC Chair Who Is "Transparent."
"'We heard loudly and clearly yesterday from Bernie supporters that the
process was rigged and it was. And you've got to be honest about it. That's why
we need a chair who is transparent,' Perez said." (Alex Seitz-Wald,
"In Race For DNC Chair, Tom Perez Pledges To Woo Back Red, Rural
America," NBC News , 2/8/17)
Shortly After He Made These Comments, Perez Walked Back His
Comments and Stated That He "Misspoke." "I have been asked by
friends about a quote and want to be clear about what I said and that I
misspoke." (Tom Perez, Twitter Feed, 2/8/17)
• Perez Then Tweeted Out That Hillary Clinton "Became
Our Nominee Fair and Square." "Hillary became our nominee fair and
square, and she won more votes in the primary-and general-than her
opponents." (Tom Perez, Twitter Feed, 2/8/17)
Perez Claimed He Had the Support Of 180 DNC Members, A
Number Which Is Close to the 224 Votes Need to Become DNC Chair. "Former
Labor Secretary Tom Perez is claiming 180 Democratic National Committee members
are supporting his bid for chairman, a number that would put him within
striking distance of the 224 votes needed." (Ben Kamisar, Perez Says He's
Closing In On DNC Chairmanship With 180 Votes," The Hill, 2/14/17)
This Claim Was Disputed by Two Other Candidates for DNC
Chair. "Two candidates for chair of the Democratic National Committee cast
scrutiny and doubt Thursday on the claim from one leading rival, Tom Perez,
that he has secured 180 votes in the race." (Ruby Cramer, "Two DNC
Candidates Question If Tom Perez Really Has 180 Votes," Buzzfeed, 2/17/17)
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) Claimed Perez Released the Whip
Count to Deliberately Mislead Voters And "Exert Pressure."
"Ellison, the Minnesota congressman also vying for the lead in the race,
went so far as to suggest that Perez had released his whip count to
deliberately mislead. Referring to Perez only as 'one of the other great
candidates,' Ellison told DNC members in a letter that the whip count was
'unverifiable' and meant to 'exert pressure on you' - 'tactics,' he said, to
'make the race sound like it is over' and put a 'finger on the scale.'"
(Ruby Cramer, "Two DNC Candidates Question If Tom Perez Really Has 180
Votes," Buzzfeed, 2/17/17)
PEREZ'S FAR-LEFT STANCE AND PROPENSITY TO USE ELECTED OFFICE
AS A BULLY PULPIT FOR HIS OWN AGENDA WOULD DRAG THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FURTHER
INTO CHAOS
Perez Was "Among the Most Liberal Members of President
Barack Obama's Administration." "Perez, a Buffalo native who attended
Harvard Law School and now lives in Takoma Park, is among the most liberal
members of President Barack Obama's administration. Republican senators who had
accused him of being overly political at the Justice Department opposed his
confirmation as labor secretary. Business groups are wary of the scope of new
rules and regulations he has ushered in. 'He has pushed an ideological agenda
that's hurt workers and employers,' said Heather Greenaway of the conservative
Workforce Fairness Institute in Washington. 'It's almost like he was the fox
guarding the henhouse, and now he could be in charge of the whole farm.'"
(John Fritze, "Obama Official Tom Perez At Center Of Vice Presidential Talk,"
The Baltimore Sun, 6/21/16)
The Washington Post: "Although He Prefers the Term
'Progressive,' Perez Is About as Liberal as Democrats Get." "Although
he prefers the term 'progressive,' Perez is about as liberal as Democrats get.
He spent much of the 1990s working for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and as
a senior official in the Department of Health and Human Services under
Clinton-appointee Donna E. Shalala." (Cameron Barr, "Council Chief
Builds A Base In The New Montgomery," The Washington Post , 4/3/05)
When Perez Ran for Maryland Attorney General In 2006, Perez
Said He Wanted to Use the Office as A "Bully Pulpit." "So, how
exactly does this 'kind of bald guy' from Montgomery County expect to become
the next attorney general of Maryland? Tom Perez posed the question one recent
evening to a couple dozen people gathered at a waterfront house in one of
Maryland's decidedly red counties. The Talbot County residents sipped wine and
ate cheesecake as Perez presented his vision for the office he describes as the
state's ethical compass. 'You need someone who is willing to crack a few eggs,'
said Perez, 44, telling the Eastern Shore crowd that the top law enforcement
official in the state should do much more than handle appeals and litigate on
behalf of state agencies. The office, Perez said, should be a bully pulpit to,
among other things, expand access to health care, increase oversight on
development, deter polluters and fight gangs." (Ernesto Londoño,
"Perez Says He'd Make His Job A Bully Pulpit," The Washington Post,
8/23/06)
"Of All the Transformations That Have Taken Place in
The Obama Administration, Perhaps None Is So Radical as That Within the Civil
Rights Division. Under Perez, It Is Bigger, Richer and More Aggressive Than
Ever, With A Far More Expansive View of Its Authority Than at Any Time in
Recent History." "Of all the transformations that have taken place in
the Obama administration, perhaps none is so radical as that within the Civil
Rights Division. Under Perez, it is bigger, richer and more aggressive than
ever, with a far more expansive view of its authority than at any time in
recent history. Perez is playing a leading role in the Justice Department's
lawsuit against Arizona's new immigration law. He is promising a huge increase
in prosecution of alleged hate crimes. He vows to use 'disparate impact theory'
to pursue discrimination cases where there is no intent to discriminate but a
difference in results, such as in test scores or mortgage lending, that Perez
wants to change." (Byron York, "Obama's Zealous Civil Rights Enforcer
Gets Busy," The Washington Examiner, 8/6/10)
Perez Has a Far-Left Stance on Immigration!
• Perez Was the Lead Prosecutor Against the Border Patrol
Agent. "During his opening statement, prosecutor Tom Perez said Elmer has
a history of firing warning shots at aliens along the border and disregarded
the warnings of at least one other agent. 'This will be a case about a
defendant who decided to act as the police, prosecutor, judge, jury and
executioner all in one evening,' said Perez, an assistant U.S. attorney."
(Richard Ruelas, "Border Agent Trial Opens," The Associated Press,
1/19/94)
• Casa De Maryland Is Partially Funded with Public Money and
Received Donations from Venezuela's Dictator Hugo Chavez, Prompting Criticism
That "The Connection Between the South American Strongman and A Top DOJ
Appointee (Perez) Is More Than Unsettling." "The group is based in
the state's Tacoma Park area and proudly advertises its day laborer centers-in
Baltimore, Wheaton and Silver Spring-which are all partially funded with public
money from counties and cities. A few years ago, Casa de Maryland received a
$1.5 million donation from Venezuela's ardent anti-U.S. leader, socialist Hugo
Chavez, who is a close ally of State Department terrorist nations like Iran,
North Korea and Cuba. The Chavez-controlled Citgo Petroleum Corp. made the
donation to support illegal aliens in the U.S. and the connection between the
South American strongman and a top DOJ appointee is more than unsettling."
