MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta is among the party’s leaders calling for Democrats to become “more aggressive in making life better for people.”
It was a common theme as more than 400 DNC committee members from all 50 states and seven territories huddled this past week for their summer meeting, which was held in Minnesota’s largest city.
As Democrats hunger for more forceful resistance against President Donald Trump’s sweeping and controversial agenda, DNC Chair Ken Martin kicked off the three-day confab by targeting the president, arguing Trump’s acting as “a dictator-in-chief” and that his second administration is “fascism dressed in a red tie.”
Martin, pointing to the forceful response by Democrats to moves this summer by Trump and Republicans to create more right-leaning U.S. House seats in states across the country through rare mid-decade congressional redistricting ahead of next year’s midterm elections, told committee members that he’s “sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight.”

“We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore,” he urged.
Kenyatta, a 35-year-old state lawmaker from battleground Pennsylvania who was elected as a DNC vice chair in February, is echoing that message.
“We’ve been playing checkers. They’re playing Grand Theft Auto,” Kenyatta said about the Trump administration and the Republicans, as he referred to the long-running and popular action-adventure video game series that revolves around carjacking and shooting. “They’ve stolen their next car, and they’re running over the fire hydrant.”
