Is Joy Reid going to rap DNC Chairman Tom Perez on the knuckles for failure to abide by her anointed nomenclature? As we
noted this past weekend, MSNBC host Reid reprimanded Republican Katon Dawson for speaking of the "Democrat" party.
She warned Dawson that "we're going to have a talking-to," she instructed him, "we say 'Democratic' on this show."
Perez appeared on
Morning Joe and CNN this morning to discuss yesterday's congressional primary in Georgia. And—ruh-roh—Perez twice spoke of the "Democrat" party! On
Morning Joe,
he said,
"we're building a Democrat National Committee whose mission is not simply to elect the President of the United States." And later, on CNN,
Perez said,
"the Democrat party, we have to walk and chew gum."
