Today’s episode of “Life Comes at You Fast” is brought to you by the letters D, C, C, and C.

As Politico’s Jake Sherman reports, earlier today, the DCCC went after Republican House candidate Young Kim for accepting money from Big Tobacco. Unfortunately, as has happened so many times before, they forgot to check themselves before they wrecked themselves:

Also in Playbook PM … the ⁦@dccc⁩ whacked ⁦@YoungKimCA⁩ for taking Altria money. But ⁦@RepCheri⁩ also has taken thousands from the tobacco giant.

The @dccc has removed the release from its website.

Easy stuff to check. Insane hypocrisy. pic.twitter.com/fzLkmC9HjI

Awkward.

Wow, "insane hypocrisy" is not a term I have ever heard you use for anything GOP has done. This was a mistake and you should point it out. But by current GOP hypocrisy standards, it is not even close to "insane hypocrisy." Stop trying to find 'scandals" to tar the Dems with.

Nice try, pal. But the DCCC got caught with their pants down and deserve to get called out for their hypocrisy. Not to mention their apparent unfamiliarity with their own leadership.
