At a Democratic event in New Jersey on Friday, new DNC chair Tom Perez said this about Republicans:

That sounds like Perez’s own “basket of deplorables” moment, and he has no regrets:

Tom Perez won't apologize for saying Republicans "don't give a shit about people" https://t.co/YdBCbG8eXe

Perez doubled down on no apology, probably not wanting to reel back in his red meat for the Dem base:

Sorry not sorry. https://t.co/PPyuzAwbpq

Hey, it’s not like the Democrats have to convince voters in many states to switch sides, right? Oh, wait.

Whew.. thought he might apologize and stop bleeding seats. Carry on. https://t.co/mzqYOIPydD

The good news for Republicans is it looks like the Dem Party leadership has learned much these last few years.

I'm old enough to remember being told to vote for Democrats because our children are watching. Cool story, bro. https://t.co/pkjJWI9Sxk
