Merry Christmas, Chuckie, senatorial leader of the Party which cares.
ZitatIncoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) fired nearly all of the employees in the Senate Democrats’ internal video department on Friday.
Schumer informed the staffers of the Senate Democratic Media Center that their services are no longer needed less than 10 days before Christmas and Chanukkah, according to employee emails to colleagues obtained by Politico.
“On Friday, December 16, 2016, my colleagues and I in the Senate Democratic Media Center were informed by the incoming Democratic Leaders office that our services were no longer needed [sic],” one staffer wrote to colleagues.
Two of the goodbye emails obtained by Politico were from veteran Capitol Hill staffers who worked in the Senate for 29 years and 20 years, respectively.
More than six people were fired and the media center has eight total employees, sources told Politico.
