Democratic National Committee manager doesn't want 'straight white males' recruited for jobs: report
October 31, 2017
A Democratic National Committee manager said she doesn't want "cisgender straight white males" recruited for job openings because "they're already in the majority," the Daily Wire reported.
The outlet posted a screenshot purportedly of an email Data Services manager Madeleine Leader sent to DNC insiders Monday noting eight technology department openings.
The message asked recipients to forward the announcement to their contacts — except for those who happen to be "cisgender straight white males."
"I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight white males, since they're already in the majority," Leader allegedly instructed.
The email also said the DNC's tech department is being rebuilt into a "robust, well-oiled machine that can tackle all elections from the Presidential down to Dog Catcher and School Board" and is looking for a "staff of diverse voices" in order to "secure the future of our country."
The Daily Wire said an anonymous DNC source offered the outlet the following observation:
Clearly the DNC is doubling down on a failed strategy that has alienated staffers and voters alike. We want to be judged based on the quality of our work, not on identity politics. How can we trust the leadership of the DNC if they don’t even trust us?
Leader declined to comment to the Daily Wire about the email.
